Power of Art
This badge will take you on an easy, short walk through 39 billboard-sized art installations near the boat launch parking lot at Gallup Park. The installation is the centerpiece project of Embracing Our Differences SE Michigan - a local nonprofit dedicated to expanding awareness of the diversity of the human experience by harnessing the power of art and education.
Begin at the Gallup Park Public Boat Launch Parking located on Geddes Rd. just east of Huron Parkway (this is the smaller dirt lot, NOT the busy parking areas by the playground and canoe livery). From the parking lot, take any of the short trails leading down to the paved sidewalk by the river and then TURN RIGHT. Head down the paved walk toward the exhibit. You'll keep the river on your left and pass by a few benches. The art is GIANT, near the Huron Parkway bridge, and hard to miss!

I'm pretty sure the giant animal is a muscrat, not a groundhog (I've seen both real muscrats and real groundhogs in the vicinity). But that didn't cause any confusion, and it was a nice code-collecting walk.

Ok, I can’t figure out where to go-lol. Is it the little lot immediately to the right when you go into the entrance? Or is it the longer lot that’s dirt too?

It's not by the main entrance where the playground, livery, and one-lane wooden bridge are. It's the lot on the other side of Huron Pkwy. If you are at the intersection of Huron Pkwy and Geddes, you should be able to see the big artwork on the southeast corner. The lot is a little further east on Geddes. There's a sign that says Gallup Park in bit letters at the top and then "Public Boat Launch - Parking" underneath that. The Summer Game map shows you right where to go!
