Project highlights

  • Monument signage was added to enhance wayfinding and visibility to the James W. Cownie Sports Park, made possible through the generous support of Jim Cownie, MidAmerican Energy, the Polk County Board of Supervisors, and Prairie Meadows.
  • A striking full arch spans 91 feet across Hartford Avenue, rising 26 feet to create a bold and recognizable gateway.
  • Additional monument signs along SE 14th Street stand 26 feet tall with a 25-foot cantilever, providing strong visual identity from multiple approaches.
