The West Street Sculpture Park is an outdoor space that features more than a dozen large, welded steel sculptures by John Martinson that are scattered around two acres of beautiful parklands. Open year-round from dusk to dawn, the park boasts a variety of contemplative artworks, unique signs, and quirky assemblages, as well as two massive 40-foot towers and a giant tinker toy.

Winding wooden paths through the park make exploring easy, and maps are available for visitors to enjoy a self-guided tour around the grounds, where plaques identify pieces of art and sculptures. The park is also home to an on-site studio where John Martinson creates his works and some of which can be bought.
