Standin' on the Corner Park, Urban park in Winslow, United States.
Standin' on the Corner Park is a public park in Winslow, Arizona, opened in 1999 around a two-story trompe-l'œil mural by John Pugh. A bronze statue by Ron Adamson titled "Easy", guitar at its side, stands on the corner, and a Ford flatbed truck is parked nearby. A brick wall with named donor bricks and windows to peer through surrounds the site, and a painted Route 66 shield marks the corner on the brick paving.
The park opened in September 1999 as a way to honor a song that brought attention to Winslow across the United States. A second statue was added later to pay tribute to band member Glenn Frey.
The park takes its name from a line in a song that put Winslow on the map for travelers across the country. People come specifically to stand in front of the bronze figures and mural, recreating the scene described in those lyrics.
The park sits at the corner of Second Street and Kinsley Avenue in downtown Winslow and is open to visitors anytime. A small shop next to the installation sells souvenirs and makes for a quick stop.
The brick wall around the park carries the names of donors, and each brick also holds a short written story from that donor about their fondness for Winslow. The Standin' on the Corner Foundation gathered these donations between 1997 and 1999 to fund the park's construction.
