Waitakaruru Sculpture Park and Arboretum 2
The Park is contained in an obsolete quarry
The location has been beautified with small water features. This one contains
lovely water lillies
There are an assortment of shrubs and trees as well as the occasional
changes to the sculpures on display.
This small yellow flower was brightening the overcast day.
An interesting mask-type sculpture was a bright coloured character...
...as was this pair of Easter Island-looking heads.
We found this log sculpure a bit of a mystery though .
Though strange to look at this wind chime sculpture emitted a pleasant quiet, hollow chiming sound.
I was fascinated by this spiders web built around a collection of shrub branches.
Another family was visiting when we were there and the children enjoyed making their own sculptures using parts supplied for the purpose.

I have a nearby sculpture garden and I should really go take some photos there...but I am waiting for a lovely snow.
What a great park - and such a good idea to let kids build their own sculptures.
Wonderful pictures - thanks for sharing.
I agree with Lady Fi, what a fabulous, creative and fun idea to give the children a chance to build their own sculptures, too!
I loved that capture you snapped of the spider's web - wow, isn't it awesome?
I could spend days just wandering around! What a wonderful place and what fabulous photos as always Dave! I have given you an award on my blog today. Sorry I haven't been around as much lately too.
An interesting place to roam around and let the imagination run free.
Tabor, yes please. It would be good to see your one.
Fi, Thank you. Yes, I thought it was good to let kids try too.
Carol, yes, me too. Thanks about the web.
Maggie, thanks for the award. That was nice of you. Thank you for praising my photos too - Dave
Hi Dave,
what a great park that seemed to me. You have prachtgie, sunny pictures of it. Only those pictures of that big spider gives me the chills. I am very afraid of spiders en.
Greetings, Helma
The water lily picture is beautiful!
I think I would be afraid to see the spider that made that huge complicated web! (:0)
the park has a lot of interesting sculptures and landscape. On a beautiful day it would be fun walking around there.
Seems like a great place for young and old.. and the rest of us in between. I love the masks and the webbing (because of the leaf placement) looks like a mask, as well. Might it be a caterpiller webbing?
what a gorgeous use for an obsolete quarry. excellent idea to make it such a place. thanks so much for sharing it with us.
