Tulsa officials dedicated a new piece of artwork Friday in the Creek Stickball Park, located at 1800 S. Cheyenne Ave., directly across from the Creek Council Oak Park. The sculpture, a gift to the city from the Oklahoma Centennial Commemoration Commission, was created by Talala-based sculptor Sandra Van Zandt and features three American Indian youths playing stickball, a traditional game with ceremonial significance in American Indian culture. The commission's $250,000 donation not only included the sculpture but also wrought iron fencing, new sidewalks, landscaping, irrigation and benches.
