Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park, Sculpture garden in Glenorchy, Tasmania, Australia.
Glenorchy Art and Sculpture Park is a sculpture garden along the foreshore of Glenorchy that spans about 2.4 hectares of waterfront land. The park connects different sections through pathways and features contemporary sculptures alongside a glass-paneled pavilion overlooking the bay.
The park was initiated in the early 2000s by local civic and business leaders who wanted to create a platform for art on the waterfront. A design competition produced the winning concept that became the foundation for the park.
The park displays works from local and international artists, creating a space where the community regularly engages with contemporary art. This public art presence has shaped awareness of creativity in the region.
The park is easy to access on foot and offers free entry to all visitors. The pathways are well-marked and the pavilion provides shelter in case of bad weather.
The colorful glass pavilion stands on the site where the Bowen Bridge was once constructed. This unexpected connection to local infrastructure history gives the art venue an added layer of meaning.
