To Serve and Protect

This sculpture is the second in the series of three works of art that were created by Eldon Garnet for the Metro Toronto Police Headquarters in 1988. It is located a few steps down the street from the 'Litte Glenn' statue, in front of the police headquarters entrance.

Little Glenn

'Little Glenn' is one of the statues around the 'Metro Toronto Police Headquarters. It was created by Eldon Garnet in 1988. At first glance, it seems like a representation of child labor as a working-class boy is hauling a mighty obelisk on his four-wheel cart. But it actually represents the small police force taking on a huge responsibility of serving the city.

The motto of the police force of Toronto, 'To serve and protect' is engraved around the obelisk.

Five Mighty Frogs

College Park was redesigned and revitalized in 2019. 'Barbara Ann Scott Ice Trail' is the main feature of this park and within this trail, there is an army of frogs calmly sitting around an 'urban frog pond'. 

The park was designed by landscape architects The MBTW Group and RAW Design but I was not able to find the name of the artist who created these cool sculptures.
