A public sculpture called Numbers, by the Auckland-based artist Anton Parsons, who grew up in Palmerston North. It stands at the west corner of The Square, by the entrance to Coleman Place, in Palmerston North Central. It is made of stainless steel cubes joined in a loop, with numbers in sheet bronze riveted on, and it is lit by Central Energy Trust. It was unveiled on 9 September 2007, and was the first sculpture commissioned by the Palmerston North Public Sculpture Trust, formed in 2006. The Trust says 11 works have been installed since then. Each sculpture is gifted to the city, and funds are raised by donation and matched by the city council. The Trust says it is pleased to see visitors and locals photographing themselves beside the works and walking around them.
