Discovery Scopes

Continuing along the greenbelt path, you'll see one of several concrete monoliths. These strange structures are artist Mark Brest Van Kempen's Discovery Scopes. An interpretive link to the creek's past, one can peer into each telescope to view one of many bronze sculptures. Most of these sculptures depict native wildlife while one shows the likeness of an Ohlone mortar. Follow the map to find them all. Though some of the scopes have been vandalized, there is an example of each of the bronze sculptures at a kiosk toward the end of the walk.
