Very fun place for kids to get a sense of sculpture. It’s a small place with a lots of shades , especially in Summer. It’s a bit difficult for parking in campus. Someone told us that it is available for you to park in Tresidder parking lot at weekend. It’s hard for you to find a place for public parking without permission even in most of lots at weekends. Most of them are 7/24 restriction。

It is small garden but it’s so amazing. Those sculptures are very uniquely caving. There are so many different pieces of wooden, stone, and some oak artists. The landscaping and sculpture from across Polynesia and Pacific Rim are just perfect together in this garden. This is such of treasure to me!

Amazing, powerful pieces from Papua New Guinea artists who created it in person on site. Nice landscape created to compliment it. Look for their homage to Rodin’s The Gates of Hell. (You can see Rodin’s version at the Cantor Art museum sculpture garden.) Also, try to find the enormous snake that they had to chain to a tree so it wouldn’t go roaming the campus at night. Then walk around the campus and relax with a cold drink on the Cantor museum’s patio behind those gates and...

This is an unexpected and marvelous little sculpture garden in the middle of the Stanford campus. It was created by a group of visiting artists from Papua New Guinea in collaboration with Stanford, and it is like stepping into another culture. It's worth seeking out if you are anywhere...
