This is a closed miniature golf place that wasn't maintained very well the last few years that it was open, but was a Tucson landmark for over 30 years. Even closed, weedy, and with peeling paint, the campy wire and concrete creatures have a certain eye appeal. A car dealership recently purchased the land; people with fond childhood memories have found homes for many of these pieces to find new life elsewhere in town.
I think the monkey's tail used to swing back and forth to interfere with a put...
Spider obstacle?
Another swinging tail, and that ain't no bull!
Like a fish out of water...
hmmm, well the body looks like an ostrich anyway...
I wonder if the ball traveled into the snake's mouth and the exited the tail? I think some of these type of miniature golf obstacles used to have mechanisms to do things like that?
Sign of the times?
I read that the kon-tiki feature is going to a restaurant somewhere down on fourth avenue...
Not sure what else is back in there, these were the only shots I could get from outside the fenced no-trespassing area.
Lovely, lovely street art, Warren. I hope it all finds a home, a home where many can view the Stuff.
ReplyDeleteI think that it's wonderful that you got these photos of such a memorable place for so many. I certainly enjoyed looking and reading.
