Large tree at Detweiller Park!
I read once that it is a redwood stump that was a gift from California.
Behind the "slice" is a large section about 20ft long laying on the ground. You can see the shadow of it in the photo.
That was one hell of a heavy load.
I think there's a plaque near it. My fault for not reading it!
