Van Cortlandt Park, The Bronx
The Tortoise and The Hare sculpture by Michael Browne and fabricated by Stuart Smith is located near the finish line of the Cross Country Van Cortlandt Track

The sculpture is also located across the street from Lloyd's Carrot Cake which I highly recommend.

Artist E. V. Day used a decommissioned costume from Bizet's opera Carmen. The piece was created in 2010 and consists of a dress and monofilament.

From the Hudson River Museum's "No Bodies: Clothing as Disruptor"

From the text panel:
In this sculpture, the gold fabric of Carmen's Spanish-style dress appears tough as armor, glinting between the ruffles of the black polka dot tulle. Pulled in all directions, the dress is puffed out and spiky, resembling a blowfish. Here, it is Carmen - not Don Jose - who wields the bloody knife: she had warned him from the beginning that "love is a rebellious bird", and she remained true to her word.

That's the Hudson River in the background including the chunks of ice flowing by. It was beautiful to watch
