Stone children climb on a giant brick book statue, one of the many public art offerings in Charlotte, North Carolina. The statue is located on The Green Uptown, a passive park (an urban wild area with a natural ecosystem found in a developed urban area) located atop an underground parking garage next to the Ratcliffe Condos in Center City Charlotte, NC. The Green, one of the many things to see and do in downtown Charlotte, includes fountains, landscaped walkways, motion-activitated stone walls, chess boards built into stone tables and riddles on the ground.
