In 2016, the Pikachu, also known as the Pokemonument,[5][6] a fiberglass sculpture depicting the Pokémon species of the same name by an unknown artist, was installed in Lower Garden District.

Some two weeks after its placement, the "Pokemonument" was removed, and an online statement from the artist said that the artwork would be auctioned to benefit restoration of the park's fountains.
