A Community collaboration between the University of Iowa 3D Design Program and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.
Oca is an outside structure built using the tree branches from its natural environment and twine. Located along the Woodpecker Trail by the Squire Point, the idea is to provide the users of the park a space where they can enjoy nature, have a picnic comfortably and enjoy the view of the Iowa River, carefully framed by a window.
Now on nature's hands, the piece will have natural grapevines planted over it, having the forest blend with the constructed object.
The entrance to the Woodpecker Nature Trail is located at the West Overlook Rd NE, by the Funcrest Bait Shop. Please come visit.
