Statue Garden Lake Nona, solo ride, Dec 9

I finally made it to the famed Statue Garden at the Wave hotel in Lake Nona. It was impressive, but not enough variety in the statues. It seemed like only a handful of artists. It's still quite impressive and the grounds and landscaping were beautiful. I'd like to one day create a bike route to bring FFW cyclists down there. Maybe I can make a Friday ride and lead it once or twice a month.

The iconic charging bull from wall street. I learned that this statue is by artist Arturo Di Modica and there are actually four bulls; one outside the New York Stock Exchange, one at a golf club in Windemere FL, one in the Bahamas, and this one in Lake Nona.
 The grass was Astroturf, which was probably the best way to go about keeping it nice outside. All the plantings around the trees were beautifully done. Lots of seats spread around the garden as well. On Friday morning, there was only one other party there. Very peaceful on a Friday morning. Nice stop for my bike ride.

This was anther one I liked. Unfortunately, I didn't care for too many of the statues out there. The idea is great, but they need to keep adding to it with a variety of artists.
