Most definately the most tripped out sculpture garden I've ever been to. You don't need to be an art aficionado to be captured by this most wonderful art ! One of the many astounding things to do here!

Julie Karen Jackson

Allow plenty of time. You will want to enjoy all of the pieces of art and there are many. The park is huge with a lake and also a small garden .

⚜Ian

Absolutely worth a wander if you're visiting NOMA or City Park . There's another entrance near Morning Call. Quite the staggering selection of more than 60 artists .
