The W.W. Reynolds Company issued a call for entries for a sculpture to memorialize William Reynolds Senior. In response to this competition, Artscapes proposed a place rather than a singular piece of artwork. Located at the intersection of two major bike paths, the edge of open space and the perimeter of a major office park, the site suggests a place where diverse species meet. A coyote living in the adjacent open space was the inspiration for the bronze tracks that lead from the preserve across the bike path to the water feature. Landscape and hardscape elements are woven together to provide comfort and beauty for the human population and habitat for the native animal community.

This plaza has been so successful that the City of Boulder commissioned a second and third plaza along the greenway system and the W. W. Reynolds company sponsored a fourth.
