A Landmark in the Making

As Castle Rock celebrates America's 250th anniversary and Colorado's 150th anniversary of statehood in 2026, our community has a unique opportunity to create a lasting landmark that honors our past while inspiring future generations.

Big Drive will feature three monumental steel sculptures—a bull, cow, and calf—created by nationally recognized artists Don Kennell and Lisa Adler of DKLA Design.

Installed at Rock Park Open Space, the artwork will celebrate the ranching heritage, western spirit, and enduring character that helped shape Castle Rock.

More than a work of public art, Big Drive will become a gathering place, a landmark destination, and a lasting symbol of our community's story.

Why Big Drive Matters

Public art does more than enhance a landscape. It helps create a sense of place, strengthens community identity, and provides opportunities for residents and visitors to connect with the stories that make a community unique.

Rock Park was selected as the home for Big Drive because it serves as the backdrop for Castle Rock's beloved annual Cattle Drive and reflects the western heritage that remains an important part of our identity.

Designed to weather naturally over time, the sculptures will stand for generations as a tribute to the people, traditions, and values that helped build Castle Rock.

You Can Help Bring
Big Drive To Life

Big Drive is more than a public art installation. It is an investment in Castle Rock's identity, heritage, and future.

Located at Rock Park, the community's namesake and the ceremonial starting point of the annual Cattle Drive, this landmark sculpture series will welcome residents and visitors, celebrate our western heritage, and create a lasting destination that connects people to the story of Castle Rock.

The Castle Rock Arts and Culture Foundation is raising $40,000 to help bring this vision to life. Community support will help ensure that Big Drive becomes more than a public art project—it will become a shared community achievement and a source of pride for generations to come.

Expected to be experienced by tens of thousands of residents and visitors each year, Big Drive will stand as a lasting symbol of the character, creativity, and spirit that define Castle Rock.

Every contribution helps create a landmark that future generations will enjoy, experience, and remember.
