Miniature shrine

Highlight • Structure

On the side of the bike path, there's a - well, what exactly is it? a shrine? - made of little figurines, plants and other random items. Every time you pass, something will be different.

Glenway Woods is a beautiful, yet somewhat hidden, gem that spans over 10 acres of land. Although it doesn't currently have a park classification, locals have created a few mountain biking trails that wind through the densely wooded area. It's located along the Southwest Commuter Bike Path, providing a scenic route with a touch of nature shaded by the trees.
