Very cute park! I was very excited to bump into Oz Park. I have seen many of my fellow yelpers checking in to this, and sharing pictures, but I never could make out where the location of this park was. The tinman statue stood right at the entrance and caught my attention first. I really wasn't aware of the tinman, cowardly lion, and scarecrow statues, until visiting.

Not sure if there was a sewage issue that day, but I yanked my dog away when she looked like she was headed toward the ankle-high water fountain to drink. If it was clean, I'd have let her...

This is a really neat community park. I went specifically as a 'photo op' to see the Oz characters' statues. But there is a huge playground if you have kids or a beautiful garden if you just want to sit and relax and enjoy a little nature in the city.
If you are looking for the statues specifically, Dorothy is just west of the playground along W Webster Ave. Tin Man is at the corner of Webster and Larrabee. Scarecrow is near Tin Man, just inside the east gate of the garden. Lion is hardest to find since he's not as close to the others, but he is at the southeast corner of the park, at the corner of Larrabee and Dickens.
The only downside is finding street parking. It seems like it can be...
