Dr. Ronald McNair Park

This park, I went, formerly known as Guider Park, was named for Dr. McNair in the same year as the Challenger disaster. The sculpture fashioned a sensitive bronze portrait, set within a nine-foot tall polished red-granite pedestal resembling a modified rocket ship. The pyramidal base features bronze relief with images relating to Dr. McNair’s achievements and interests. Really excited by visiting this masterpiece.
