It consists of five large gates, two small pedestrian gates and two copper-roofed gate homes, each adorned with climate-vanes. Financed by a Norwegian bank, The Principal Gate was erected in 1926. Walking along the 328 feet extended, 49 feet wide Bridge, you will encounter 58 of the park's sculptures. The Bridge serves as a connection among the Key Gate and the Fountain.

  Subsequent 1 arrives at the Children's Playground, located at the finish of the bridge. This is a collection of eight bronze statues, all representing children at play.
