About this audio guide
This guide to Oz Park in Chicago follows sculptor John Kearney as he finally took up a decades-old proposal for statues of Dorothy and her friends scattered through the park. It traces his welding of the Tin Man from scavenged chrome bumpers, and a young visitor's question that led him to make one small addition. Look for the Cowardly Lion and Scarecrow nearby, cast years later in bronze.
