Lipe Cross-Arc

Echo partner: Zachary Bloomer, Park Steward collaborators: Zeke Leonard, Rick Destito

The Lipe Cross-Arc is a landscape structure designed to provide cross-fit exercise amenities at LipeArt Park without detracting from the artistic mission of the park. The installation structurally resonates with the post-industrial cityscape of Syracuse's westside and incorporates elements for the following exercises: pull-ups, medicine ball toss, monkey bars, jump-ups, and rings. Brendan Rose led the project design, fabrication, and site installation.
