Formerly an abandoned landfill, Socrates Sculpture Park is a five-acre property that has been transformed into a beautiful riverside space dedicated to displaying the works of both emerging and established sculptors. Visitors will easily recognize the park by the large billboard that hangs over the main entrance, the text of which is changed several times a year in order to set the tone for the current exhibition. The park is open to visitors every day of the year between 9 a.m. and sunset, and public events like yoga classes and movie screenings are often held here in the summer.
