Visitors to Fountain Park may notice two new additions to the west side of the park.

Made from retired wind turbine blades, the Town of Fountain Hills introduced two swings that serve as functional public art pieces.

The two swings are made by Noblewins, an Ohio-based company that creates long-lasting outdoor furniture like benches, swings and tables using recycled materials.
