The Wandell Sculpture Garden is owned and operated by the Urbana Park District, a government agency that provides parks, recreational facilities and recreation programs. The Wandell Sculpture Garden is part of Meadowbrook Park, a 130-acre community Park containing a super-size play structure, community organic gardens, a farmstead, an herb garden and 60 acres of recreated native Illinois prarie. The sculpture garden is situated amid 30 acres of prairie and contains large-scale pieces created by sculptors with an established body of work. Each piece sits along a portion of a three-mile hard surface trail through the prairie that doubles as a pathway for walkers, bikers, and in-line skaters. A wide variety of media are represented, including oak, stainless steel, bronze, and concrete. The pieces on display are a combination of long-term loans from the artists and loans from private collections. Each piece is loaned for a minimum of two years.

Open 365 days a year, dawn to dusk.
