The Sculpture
Garden is set on 5.4 acres in New Orleans City
Park, amongst the 200 year-old oak trees. A
lagoon was carved out splitting the project
in half. Three pile supported concrete bridges
were built to connect the two sides together.
Brick pathways run throughout the gardens where
approximately 30 sculptures set upon pile supported
concrete foundations. A reflection pool was
built next to the lagooon with a waterfall into
the lagoon. The entrance plaza has a restroom
and docent pavilion. Bronze gates were constructed
at the entrances and a wrought iron fence encloses
the entire garden. Precast clads all exposed
concrete. The garden was landscaped with planter
beds, sod, and new trees.
