Sunset View Park faces the Pacific Ocean and Long Beach, and includes art, solar interpretation for solstice and equinox.

The bronze is of two men, Signal Hill Petroleum chairman Jerry Barto and Shell Oil employee Bruce Kerr, installing pipe into an oil line, symbolizing the oil rich history of the Signal Hill and two of its key contributors.
