About & Description

The Sculpture Park Waitakaruru Arboretum

Carved into a Waikato hillside, this former quarry has been transformed into a magnificent 17 hect- are garden and arboretum. Planting started in 1991 to enhance the existing features: rocky outcrops, ponds, flowing water and broad vistas. The Waikato Sculpture Trust holds three curated exhibitions annually at The Sculpture Park. At any given time there are at least 50 sculptures to discover along the 2km long nature trail. Each sculpture and installation is placed to fit this truly beautiful setting. Sculptures are for sale. The commission received by the Trust helps fund forthcoming exhibitions
