Ann Arbor's Sculpture Park is officially a "sculpture park" again, now that its sculpture has been reinstalled.

City workers lowered the steel creation into its place of prominence, capping off the $200,000 and year-long renovation of the park at Catherine and Fourth streets. The improvements included new trees, new street lighting, new bike racks, relaying of bricks, repairing the plaza's main sculpture and replacing tables and chairs.

The city opened the plaza 30 years ago. It is centered around the 18-foot-tall Herberling Sculpture, created by former Ann Arbor artist David Herberling. The plaza and sculpture serve as a link for pedestrians between downtown and Kerrytown.

Most of the renovations were completed last summer, except the sculpture refurbishment. That part of the project took one year to finish.
