David Nash created 'Black Mound' in 2013 to overlook the Park's historic lake.⁠ ⁠ The sculpture, which is made from coal and oak charred black, references the natural cycle of wood. ⁠ ⁠ “With wood sculpture one tends to see ‘wood’, a warm familiar material, before reading the form: wood first, form second. Charring radically changes this experience. The surface is transformed from a vegetable to a mineral – carbon – and one sees the form before the material.”⁠ - David Nash⁠ ⁠ David Nash, Black M
