Standin' on the Corner Park

DirectionsOpenStreetMap

In Winslow, AZ, Standin' on the Corner Park honors the Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey song Take It Easy, a hit for the Eagles. The song's line about standing on a corner in Winslow is the whole idea: the park turns that lyric into a place you can visit. It opened in 1999 and sits just off the old road through town.

What is Standin' on the Corner Park?

The corner holds a two-story trompe-l'oeil mural by John Pugh, painted to trick the eye, a parked flatbed Ford and a bronze figure called Easy, sculpted by Ron Adamson, who stands at the corner with his guitar. A brick wall surrounds the park; each brick bears a donor's name and a short note about Winslow.
