About the Park
Carved into a Waikato hillside, The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum is a former quarry that has been transformed into a magnificent 17 hectare garden and arboretum. Planting started in 1991 to enhance the existing features: rocky outcrops, ponds, flowing water and broad vistas.
Autumn is on it's way, but that doesn't mean it is getting quiet at the Sculpture Park.After the official end of our Summer exhibition our Autumn/ Winter Gallery starts. On you visit you will find between 60-80 sculptures in New Zealand's biggest outdoor gallery along the 2 km long nature trail. Dramatic changes in light and trees showing of their best "Indian summer" foliage guarantees a breathtaking experience.
Sculptures are for sale. The commission received by the Trust helps fund forthcoming exhibitions.
Absolute Divide Restored
“Absolute Divide” has finally been restored and re-installed in its original place at the Sculpture Park. Its restoration coincides with the treaty settlement celebrations for Ngati Haua at Tauwhare Marae where the Treaty Negotiations Minister, Chris Findlayson, will be coming on the 24th May.
Art Match is an artful treasure hunt game developed and run by Heartworks-Media, available to play here at the Sculpture Park.
