Helix R Sculpture
75 Riverside Dr.
Cramerton
Located near Riverside Drive in Cramerton, this striking sculpture has been transformed into a pocket park where visitors can enjoy both public art and nature along the Carolina Thread Trail.
Created by artist John Rietta, the sculpture originally stood at the Marriott Plaza at Trade and Tryon Streets in Charlotte from 1983 until 2018, when it was removed to make way for renovations. Today, it finds new life in Cramerton as part of the Art on the Trails initiative — a partnership with the Carolina Thread Trail that integrates art installations along public trails to enhance outdoor spaces.
Be sure to stop by and experience this unique piece of history, blending culture and the outdoors in the heart of Gaston County.
