A shrine with a wooded statue of Padre Junípero Serra was installed at the entrance to the development, at the intersection of Camino del Monte and Alta Avenue in the community of Carmel Woods. The statue was carved and painted by the local artist Jo Mora (1876–1947), and displayed within a small wooden shrine, surrounded by plants and a pair of wooden benches. The opening day, coincided with the Junipero Serra Day Celebration featuring Garnet Holme's Carmel Mission play Serra, at the Forest Theater.[5]
