Located just one mile east of downtown Arlington, The Meadowbrook Sculpture Garden is the artistic focal point of historic Meadowbrook Park, Arlington’s first city park and its first municipal golf course, both of which opened in 1924.
In 2006, an Arlington Rotary Club thought it would be a cultural adventure and challenge to establish a privately-funded sculpture garden in Meadowbrook. That first sculpture, a classic bronze titled “Blue Sky Dream” by acclaimed sculptor Seth Vandable, was followed by more sculptures via an eclectic selection of Texas artists, all located beneath a spreading canopy of shading oak trees near the park entrance off Abram Street (east of Collins two blocks to Dugan Street). The Arlington Sculpture Garden Foundation and the Arlington Parks and Recreation Department maintain the garden.
The free and accessible Sculpture Garden offers a walking path, comfortable seating, a gurgling adjoining creek and a nifty, comfortable view of the nearby massive sports facilities – AT&T Stadium (Dallas Cowboys) and Globe Life Field (Texas Rangers).
Contributions to the Sculpture Garden or underwriting of new projects — which can include dedications — are happily accepted. For more information about this opportunity, please communicate with the “Contact” button at the top of this page.
