Olympic Sculpture Park

We went to the Sculpture Park on May 25th when it was 75 degrees and beautiful. What a fantastic place. I had been wanting to go since the place opened and am so glad we went. In fact I will have to try and make this a regular place to visit.

I loved how the sculptures are integrated into the natural surroundings. The art tends toward the modern and is grand in scale. I added some photos from our visit.

This park has few but fabulous sculptures.

Held on a short leash, it is a dog-friendly park :) Unfortunately, it is not for the heat-sensitive ones: there are very few, very young trees that give “shelter” from the sun. I wish I had brought a hat or an umbrella, as it was very sunny the day we went, and my doggie didn’t handle the heat well either.

While the trees grow in this park, you can seek refuge under the trees of the adjacent Myrtle Edwards Park. But it was very much worth going, and I definitely want to go back :)

It’s outside in the fresh air along the waterfront & best of all it’s free ♥ Oldenberg’s Typewriter Eraser

is my FAVORITE sculpture very whimsical, rolling downhill towards the traffic! It’s just like the one in Washington

DC’s National Sculpture Garden!

The nurse log inside the greenhouse is the piece that I’ve seen most of and yet seen least of. I always pass it on my way to work, but every time I try to go inside it’s closed. It’s like it’s avoiding me.

we went yesterday cuz it was my husband’s only day off…went just before sunset and got to watch it disappear over the horizen…that was the best part of the park….that and the view…the sculptures just don’t take my fancy….my husband loved the ginormous typewriter eraser though….
