The fifth stone sculpture is located on the turn-around area off Glengarry Drive, at the entrance of the Kettering water park. The stone sculpture, entitled "Patty Wack, Patty Wack," was created by Columbus, Ohio, artist Dale Johnson. Johnson was assisted by Jack Oliver in creating the ten-foot structure depicting the tension between a cat and a dog. Also depicted is a young girl on a turtle's back. This work was the perfect sculpture for the entrance to the water park.
