This painted bronze figure, officially titled “Oh, It’s You, Welcome!” by artist J. Seward Johnson Jr., has been a iconic resident of the park since its dedication. This portrait captures the stunning hyper-realistic detail, with the guard’s intense gaze and wide smile, made even more evocative by the droplets of rain or morning dew clinging to his face and the brim of his hat. This piece serves as a memorial and tribute to Colonel James S. McAuliffe Sr., a former Montgomery County Police Chief. It’s always a surprise to see how real his presence feels.
