Sculpture in the Parklands

The 50-acre environmental sculpture park features large-scale art installations integrated within the natural landscape of former industrial peatlands.

The park emerged from a 2002 international sculpture symposium where seven artists created permanent works during a three-week residency program.

The collection includes twenty site-specific sculptures that reflect the intersection between industrial heritage and environmental restoration through artistic expression.

Located between Tullamore and Birr, the park offers free admission year-round with wheelchair accessibility and designated parking for visitors with disabilities.

Artists utilize materials from the former peat harvesting operations to create installations that change appearance throughout different seasons and weather conditions.
