Welcome to the Stevens Point Sculpture Park

The mission of the Sculpture Park is to provide a welcoming and accessible outdoor venue for environmental arts exhibitions, activities, and educational programs.

We invite you to explore the artwork intertwined amidst nature, along a scenic walking trail. Leisurely stroll past towering pines, along a stream, and through wetlands to discover the unique connection between nature and art. Sitting on 20-acres and connected to the Green Circle Trail, the Stevens Point Sculpture Park features artwork from local, regional, and national artists.

The Park is always growing and changing. Visit throughout the year to explore exciting environmental art exhibitions, artist residencies, performance events, and educational programming. Click here to see upcoming events.

The Stevens Point Sculpture Park, located in Central Wisconsin, is a 20-acre, city-owned park with nearly a mile of forested trails that are used year-round by people of all ages for biking, skiing, running and walking. The Park offers a wide variety of trees and geographic features including a pond, wetland and forest. It is a zone 4 growing season (which includes cold winters and hot summers).

The Stevens Point Sculpture Park is committed to providing a welcoming and accessible outdoor venue for sculpture and arts exhibitions, activities, and educational programs by enhancing the cultural life of our community and surrounding region through a diverse program of education, collaboration and experimentation.

The Park is located close to elementary, middle and high schools, and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.
