This work, by Randy Hand, is titled Need A Lift.  (It’s called The Lifting Bench at the artist’s site.)  According to the placard, it was installed in 2009 and was made possible by donations from the Fountain Hills One Percent For Public Art Fund and the Fountain Hills Cultural and Civic Association.

It’s a piece of functional art in that it can be used as a bench.
