Rothwell Country Park is also home to twenty-one stone and iron sculptures, which mark twenty-one 'Changing Places' sites that had been regenerated. The first sculpture is "Breaking the Mould" by Andrew McKeown. It is of a giant seed breaking out of its mould and is meant to represent "new life and growth emerging from industrial decline". There are also stone figures, willow arches and a sun dial. Another prominent sculpture, which is at the end of the trail, is that of a "dome represents the pit heap and all the way around the sculpture there are people, trees, wildlife, the canal, railway, and the old colliery itself." <ref name="ywt" /> Many of these sculptures are now overgrown by the surrounding trees and plants or have been heavily vandalised.
