Fredrick Law Olmsted actually choose the location of every single plant in Central Park in NYC. The Niagra Falls State Park mentions above is an amazing design and blows the mind when you take the time to pay attention to it.

If you could correct my error, I would be very grateful.

Sculpted in 1893 by William Ordway Partridge (1861-1930), it originally stood outside the Hamilton Club of Brooklyn in Brooklyn Heights, then was moved in 1936 to accompany the Grange. Now that the Grange has found a new setting in St. Nicholas Park, the statue should be relocated there as well. What a splendid ornament for the park it would become (perhaps aligned with the house’s central axis down near the sidewalk, or set to the rear of the house terminating the axis of Hamilton Place — other choices abound). This masterful statue is utterly wasted where (as far as I can determine) it remains.

I was at the dog run saturday… I am not sure if anyone else noticed- but we didnot have the tools to do the wood chips I mean where were the wheel barrells?
i do the clean up all the time (only missed one in 2010) and this one was awfully bad,. Not too many people and only one wheel barrell!!!!
was at the last two clean ups and there was a woman there around 8 30 am … who had brought coffee, and was talking with a parks person – I think this was in May? we started nice and early and she had them bring 4 wheel barrells. Plus we had people-
I also saw her at our last weed clean up! and again we had coffee and lots of tools to work with.
I did not see her there this time or the two guys who brought water and also help with the last few clean ups.

My opinion when we have had clean ups ~~~ we have always had them early in the day .like 9 am ..perhaps we need to continue this in the spring on our next clean up.
Also make sure you ask for more wheel barrells. we have never had just one …
