They haven't 'finished' the work on the park. Only about half has been done. It could have been done more quickly (finished totally) if they'd modified their plans even just a bit, but that was not in the cards. At least thus far. Here is more information on the figures ("at war" and "at peace") around Washington at the Arch.

Large areas were not planted or goomed, the dog area was smelly and dirty and the park overall looked crappy. One question I had was who are the two figures behind Washington's "at war" figure. I can't find any info on them. Any info would be helpful.
