Standin` on the Corner Park in Winslow Arizona pays tribute to the Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey song `Take it Easy` design and build a park in downtown Winslow that paid tribute to the Jackson Browne & Glenn Frey lyrics in the song `Take it Easy` and it was decided to build a park in Winslow`s downtown area. The Standin` On the Corner Foundation sent out requests for proposals to dozen of architects and settled on a design that included a mural and bronze statue depicting a 1970`s man standing on the corner wearing jeans, boots, shirt and vest with a guitar standing on the toe of his boot. The park also had planters with built-in seating, native landscaping trees, lighting, and inscribed bricks. After two years of dedicated effort the dedication celebration took place on September 10 & 11, 1999.
