Note: Due to the Wildfire smoke and air quality conditions, Golf Cart Tours are not available on July 16. The Art Park is open, but be advised that our trails are a moderate hike, and may be difficult during the current conditions.
Summer is Here! Join us for Tai Chi on Thursday mornings at 1o:am in the amphitheater.
Artwork
The fifty-plus sculptures in our permanent collection, as well as our rotating exhibits and poetry stones, connect visitors to our shared cultural and natural history.
