Tuska, a 19-foot-tall, seven-ton bronze elephant statue that has resided at the NorthRiver Yacht Club for more than 20 years, was placed at the corner of University Boulevard and Wallace Wade Avenue in spring 2021. The life-size bronze elephant statue is believed to be the largest of its kind in the world. The Tuska Plaza project included new landscaping, a large pedestal for Tuska to stand on, sidewalks surrounding the statue and lighting.
