Among Giants

Adam appeared quite small next to the giants at Penguin Park. They were made for the Gilham Park Santa's Wonderland in 1965 but eventually found a home in north Kansas City after some refurbishing. The kangaroo has a slide inside. Apparently the penguin used to but no more.

 

Loving Winter

The 25-foot penguin in Penguin Park is one of the few truly appreciating our winter. He has stood in the park since 1965 (with a major refurbishing in 1996). He was created by Vernon Jones, a parks department engineer and the same person who created the giant old Santa in Gilham Park.
