If you live in Loveland, Colorado or are planning a visit here, be sure to stop by Benson Sculpture Park--even if you've been there before! July 12 brought the dedication of seven new pieces to this fantastic park. Now the park has 123 sculptures on site.
The park is a beautiful place to take a walk. The sculptures are of a variety of media, styles and subject matter. There are pieces to appeal to everyone, regardless of age or taste. There are big turtles and other cool animals at easy reach to little hands. There is a sculpture designed to be sat in. There are modern pieces along side very traditional ones.
This is no stuffy museum. There are ponds and grasslands that frame and embrace the sculptures. A great place to take a stroll even if you are with someone who isn't an art lover! Kids can run around and do cartwheels while you chat and enjoy the art.
I found a cool interactive map so you can actually see the sculptures in the park:

Sorry I haven't figured out how make this a link, so you'll have to put it into your own URL, but it is pretty cool!
