Russ RuBert, a local Springfield artist created the moveable statue called K-Man. This magnificent piece is located in K-Park, which is in the heart of Jordan Valley Park. K-Man is aesthetically pleasing from far away and is an impressive size when seen up close. You can move both K-Man’s arms and legs by moving one wheel at the base of the sculpture. I just recently was able to experience K-Man up close and personal, and I was rather impressed. I love learning about new gems Springfield has to offer.
K-Man is also in a location that is prime for hanging out on a beautiful day. I highly recommend taking out a good book and a blanket to relax in a soothing environment right here in Springfield. Jordan Valley Park is located right across the street from Hammons Field and has a path that goes past the Mediacom Ice Rink.
