Rex the Lion
- /
A ginormous lion has been prowling South Park since 2007 … and his name is “Rex.” The good news is he can’t move, probably because weighs around seven tons. According to Queens Univerity, Rex, who was sculpted by Jon Hair of Cornelius, reigns as the world’s largest standing lion sculpture as he welcomes visitors atop his pedestal throne at the Queens Sports Complex at Marion Diehl Park off Tyvola Road.
