About the Park

The Sculpture Park at Waitakaruru Arboretum provides an Art-in-Nature experience with over 100 sculptures and installations within one of New Zealand's largest outdoor galleries.  Its 2km trail winds amongst a landscape of ponds, cliffs, rocks and  thousands of trees created from a former derelict quarry.  The park offers opportunities for children and families to interact with nature in creative ways. Please check out our events calendar here

The Art-in-Nature Arboretum Trust runs the park, providing environmental and creative inspiration for all ages.  Sustainability of nature and art are the driving forces of the park. Formed from derelict land, its trees are now protected long-term for carbon sequestration.

The Sculpture Park also offers opportunities for Corporate/business events and team building sessions. The perfect venue to build team morale, productivity, and stimulate creative problem solving.  Book UNCONFINED our riddle-solving outdoor game to kick off your next team-building event  Find out more
