Director and Curator, Jeff Stevenson, will share the history of the park while volunteers and student docents will share their knowledge about favorite pieces.

Parking is free, Lot East 3 is closest to the F Entrance.
Restrooms available inside at F Entrance.

Wear shoes for walking on grass paths, dress in layers for the weather, bring other comfort items such as bug spray, water bottles, etc. The typical length of a tour is about a mile to a mile and a half - we customize depending on the group, weather, and ground conditions.

PRO TIP: come early and bring a picnic dinner to sit at Dan Peterman's "Running Table" - the 100 foot long picnic table sculpture made of recycled plastics.  (Located next to "French Fries" and near F Entrance meeting location).
