Discover Mama Rosa, a towering 24-foot troll sculpture nestled in Wauwatosa’s Firefly Grove Park. Created by world-renowned artist Thomas Dambo, she's the first of his trolls in Wisconsin and a striking symbol of sustainability and imagination.
Made from trees recycled from Wauwatosa's urban forest and other matierlas from the city, Mama Rosa weighs over 4,000 pounds and features flowing hair crafted from oak branches. In her hands, she holds a bouquet made from old Wauwatosa streetlight posts—an artistic nod to her curious, flower-picking nature.
Mama Rosa is more than a sculpture—she’s a one-of-a-kind experience that invites visitors to explore, reflect, and be inspired.
