Sculpture in the Parklands, Outdoor sculpture garden in Lough Boora, Ireland

Sculpture in the Parklands is a 50-acre land and environmental sculpture park in Lough Boora, County Offaly, Ireland. It holds 20 site-specific sculptures, including Boora Pyramid (2002) by Eileen MacDonagh and Bogwood Tower – From Earth to Sky (2010) by Alfio Bonanno. The works are set among wetlands and cutaway bog.

The park began in 2002 following an international sculpture symposium where artists created permanent installations during a three-week stay. This event marked the start of transforming the abandoned peatland site into an art and nature destination.

The park's name comes from its setting in the Lough Boora Parklands, a 2,000-hectare bog landscape where it is one of five attractions alongside Finnamore Lakes, Turraun Wetlands, a Mesolithic site and Cloghan Wetlands. Works are made in an annual artist residency, and the project also commissions video artists, composers, choreographers and performers to interpret the bogland's folklore and industrial history.

Sculpture in the Parklands covers 50 acres within the 2,000-hectare Lough Boora Parklands, one of five attractions there alongside Finnamore Lakes, Turraun Wetlands, the Mesolithic Site and Cloghan Wetlands. Entry is free and the park is open every day of the year. The sculptures stand outdoors on cutaway bog, so waterproof footwear helps after rain.

Many of the artworks were created using materials salvaged from the former peat harvesting operations that once dominated the site. This approach transforms the industrial past into creative expression and makes the site's history part of the art itself.
