Which Arizona attraction commemorates the Eagles’ song lyric, “standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona”?

The story behind the answer

Standin’ on the Corner Park is the Arizona attraction commemorating the Eagles’ lyric about standing on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.

The park opened in 1999 in downtown Winslow, where a large mural and a bronze statue evoke the imagery of the 1972 Eagles song “Take It Easy.” The lyric was written by Jackson Browne and Glenn Frey and helped make Winslow a memorable stop for music fans traveling historic Route 66.

The attraction is not a natural landmark or a preserved highway structure. It is a purpose-built public space celebrating a pop-culture reference, with painted artwork, road markings, and signage designed for visitors. The Eagles song mentions Winslow but does not identify one specific original street corner as the song’s confirmed setting.

Winslow is also known for its location near the former Route 66 corridor and for its proximity to the meteor crater west of town. The park’s name uses the distinctive phrase “Standin’ on the Corner,” making it easy to distinguish from general Route 66 museums and roadside attractions.
