The Children's Carousel at Arena Green, Guadalupe River Park & Gardens includes 33 beautifully-painted fiberglass animals, six of which were custom-made for San Jose.  The hummingbird, coyote, salmon and eagle represent species indigenous to the area, and two sharks celebrate the San Jose Sharks NHL ice hockey team.
