The Mississippi Museum of Natural Science announced that artist Dayton Scoggins recently completed the wood carving at the LeFleur’s Bluff Playground, turning the tree into a detailed T-Rex sculpture.
Using a chainsaw and other carving tools, Scoggins transformed the tree into the dinosaur figure, creating a unique piece of outdoor artwork for visitors to enjoy at the playground.
Officials with the museum and park are encouraging visitors to stop by the playground to see the sculpture and take photos with the new attraction.
Visitors who take pictures with the T-Rex are invited to share them on social media using the hashtag #lefleursbluffplayground.
LeFleur’s Bluff State Park is home to the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science and is part of the Mississippi state parks system.
