Lee’s Summit Green Street Grove Wickets

Crafting the Solution: Working closely with Olsson Studio’s original design intent, and continuous collaboration with the city, Dimensional Innovations refined and engineered five custom wickets—two small, two medium, and one towering center arch—all rooted in the shape and structure of a maple leaf. DI then brought them to life through expert fabrication, adding thoughtful enhancements that balanced artistry with engineering. Ranging up to 24 feet tall, stretching 44 feet across and weighing 6,800 pounds, the arches are intentionally staggered in height and width and scale to invite exploration and frame movement through the space.

Each arch features a laser-cut pattern inspired by a maple leaf pattern, layered over a structural “X” brace hidden within. This nod to nature connects directly with a nearby maple seed sculpture by artist Heath Satow, tying the landscape together through material storytelling.

Crafted from a rolled steel tube and coated in a metallic white finish, the wickets shimmer in the sunlight and come alive at night. Integrated lighting—pinpoint fixtures along the tops and uplighting at the base—transforms each arch into a glowing landmark at night. The programmable RGB system adds seasonal flair and after-dark energy, creating moments of wonder well into the evening.

The result is more than a structure—it’s a signature. These sculptural gateways now anchor Green Street with purpose and personality, marking downtown Lee’s Summit as a place built for gathering and celebration.
