Socrates Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden in Astoria, Queens, United States.
The four-acre waterfront park displays contemporary outdoor sculptures and installations against the backdrop of Manhattan's skyline across the East River.
Mark di Suvero transformed an abandoned riverside landfill into a dedicated outdoor art space in 1986, receiving permanent city park status in 1998.
The park presents year-round exhibitions featuring works from international artists, fostering a connection between contemporary sculpture and the local community.
Located at the intersection of Broadway and Vernon Boulevard, the sculpture park welcomes visitors daily from sunrise to sunset without admission fees.
The entrance features a rotating 10-by-28-foot billboard installation that changes with each exhibition, introducing visitors to the current artistic program.
