I had found information on this park back in the spring, unfortunately on our last trip to St. Louis it was dreary and raining so we didn’t stop to see the sculptures. We got there this time about 9 o’clock on a Sunday morning and there were only a few other people about. We began by taking a trail into the woods from the parking lot. Signs along the trail pointed us in the right direction and gave an idea of what the next structure would look like. Each sculpture was posted with a plaque with the artist name and date it was erected. I really don’t know how to put into words descriptions of the various sculptures. Some of them were really cool to look at others were just kind of weird. We came out of the wooded trail to an open hillside dotted with more artwork and crossed over to a paved trail on the other side of the hill. It lead to a children’s section, it was get pretty hot and humid by then and we were limited on time so we skipped this and headed back toward the parking lot. We came up to a building which housed a museum and information center however it wasn’t open yet and we decided not to wait around. Just outside the museum was a gigantic eyeball and we all agreed it was the best sculpture we had seen, not to mention it made for some fun photos. We were quite aways through our walk when we came across the first sign stating you were not to climb on the structures. It was too late for us by then we had already played on several but we did feel guilty for our inattention and reframed from further climbing. This was fantastic park and we all agreed it would be a great place to spend an afternoon when the weather is a lot cooler.
