DESCRIPTION: station art installation:
The bas relief ceramic panels depict wildlife in the San Dimas area and hillsides: coyote, raccoon, frog, lizard, skunk, deer, and bobcat. Each of the four walking stick sculptures represent a distinct theme: local flora and fauna, local cultural features, and local places to "experience" San Dimas' beauty. The fourth walking stick is designed as an "adventure stick" honoring the 1989 Sci-fi comedy Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure which was set in San Dimas, along with a variety of amusing images such as the March Hare from Alice in Wonderland, a flying ship, a small door, and a stairway wrapping around all of them..
The station and its public art were dedicated June 7, 2025, and the station artworks will be fully visible on the platform when the San Dimas Station officially opens for rail service on September 19, 2025.
- four 8-foot high free-standing cast bronze “walking stick” sculptures embellished with figures and images
- seven hand-sculpted bas relief ceramic panels, mounted onto canopy column bases
