Socrates Sculpture Park

My husband and I came upon this park by chance during one of our "explore a new neighborhood" days. It is so refreshing to see the city set aside land/$ for public art projects like this. The fact that it is a revolving exhibition is icing on the top.

It's hard for me to understand the sculptures here, but this place attracts nice people. Love to seat there and enjoy a good outdoor time. It's also a good place to enjoy some opera in the park.

See a rotating number of art pieces through the year. Keep visiting to chill out, maybe catch a beautiful sunset, or enjoy the view of Manhattan.

Check out the Summer events, that include outdoor movie showings in the evenings.

Also, a mini farmers market.

This park is great, it's right near the water so you get some nice views and a cool breeze when you need it. The sculptures change often so there's always something new to see. I wish they kept up the grass a bit better and that there were more sculptures, but for a free sculpture park it's definitely worth going to.

This park gets a big A for effort. The surprise factor alone makes it worth revisiting because you never know what interesting art installations you might see next. Inspiring for sure. And there's other draws in the neighborhood like Astor Bake Shop and the Noguchi Museum to make the trek out here worth it. Getting close the river is always a bonus, but there's room for improvement. Namely, the grounds need serious attention. But I can see where some might say that's not really the point of this park. It's not necessarily a park lovers park so much as it's an art experience. Perhaps, but I'd still like to see an Olmsted like artist install some native landscaping for the next event.
