Created by Denman Island-based Michael Dennis, it is considered "a famous East Vancouver icon" as well as a "focal point of the neighbourhood." [1][2][3]

"Reclining Figure" has featured in Guelph Park since 1991, leading to its facetious name, Dude Chilling Park. Initially carved in cedar, the original decayed and was replaced by a bronze cast in 2019, thanks in part to several community fundraising activities.[4][5][6][7][8] An "update" of this sculpture was also exhibited at Van Dusen Gardens in a wood sculpture exhibit in 2013.[9]
