PHILADELPHIA (AP) – Philadelphia’s iconic “LOVE” statue has taken a ride to its temporary home while the park named after it gets a multimillion-dollar renovation.

The Robert Indiana sculpture was loaded onto a lift truck Tuesday morning at the now-closed Love Park. It was slowly transported across the street to its new home at Dilworth Plaza, near City Hall.

Perennial tourist attraction Love Park is closed for about a year during the renovation.

The new-and-improved park will have more green space, a new fountain and a food and beverage operation.

However, it won’t have the signature granite slabs that made it a skateboarding mecca. Mayor Jim Kenney has said the granite will be given to skate parks around the city.
