It is interesting to go check out all different kinds of sculptures. Some places you go you wonder why the heck the artist even took the time to make the sculpture. Often times, I am like REALLY?????? you call that art. . .seriously??? but to check out all of the different sculptures and see the reasoning and the meaning behind... More

Lots of big sculptures from big named artists located in the middle of a busy city. I was really impressed. Plus, it was free! It's a nice place for a walk or even a run. The path is gravel, though, so wear appropriate footwear. More

Most locals know what this area looked like before and the sculpture park is a definite upgrade. It's a nice area to walk or jog, but probably not worth coming here just to see the sculptures on their own. They are interesting, but not really museum pieces (hence, why they are here outside--although it could be argued that many are... More

I recently visited just before sunset. The views of the Sound are wonderful, and the park was built for a nice stroll, but the extremely modern artwork circa 1960-1970 wasn't exciting for me. My favorite piece was a lifelike tree made out of metal. Cool; but not something I could stare at for more than 5 minutes. Lots of people... More

This park is a little out of the way but the art is great. It was nice to walk through and see the views of the water. No restrooms and no places to eat so plan ahead. Great spot to sit on the grass and relax. When you walk back, walk along the water. More
