Ozarks Woodland Sculpture Garden is a non-profit, environmental
sculpture garden located in a remote area of Northwest Arkansas on a twelve
acre meadow adjoining the Kings' River. It is sponsored by the University
of the Ozarks through an educational program in which students and an
Arkansas sculptor collaborate once a year to produce a monumental sculpture
in the garden. The goal is to develop an area where the great works of
nature and of mankind interact to provide beauty and harmony.
The garden is replete with Arkansas history. The valley,
320 million years old, was the home of pre-history North Americans and
more recently the home site of an 1840's pioneer family. The trail to
the park is part of an early wagon trail. Currently there are four sculptures
to be viewed with the expectation of adding one each year. The Garden
is open to the public by appointment. No admission is charged. Visitors
are encouraged to hike the half-mile from the parking area but there is
a four-wheel drive vehicle available. Picnics are encouraged.
The Ozarks Woodland Sculpture Garden has been designated
by the White House as a Community Millenium Trails Site.
