    What makes it fun

    There are four renowned shuttlecocks in the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park collection, as well as recent additions by Roxy Paine and Robert Morris. The Modern Sculpture Project of the Hall Family Foundation began in 1992, and the collection quickly developed. Shuttlecocks by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen, a wonderful gift from the Sosland Family, was finished in 1994. Some artists' acquisitions of sculptures in the 1990s prompted expansion. In 1996, the area was renamed the Kansas City Sculpture Park. In 2011, Roxy Paine's stainless steel tree-like dendroid Ferment was erected in the park. Robert Morris's Glass Labyrinth was a major commission in 2014 to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the Sculpture Park, which was renamed the Donald J. Hall Sculpture Park.

    Great place to run or walk and is stroller friendly. Also is not too crowded. Lots of picnic spots. Fun trails. And Art to see.

    My brother and I were visiting Kansas and Missouri in November of 2023. On the evening that we landed, we managed to visit the Sculpture Park, having seen pictures of it on Wikipedia (and since we used to play badminton, it was a must-see). It was dark out, so there were things that we couldn't really see, but still, as it was Friday, we were able to enter and get a good look at several of the sculptures. The shuttlecocks are as impressive as the pictures show. It is free to go in, and since the park is open later on Friday, we went at around 6:30 PM (although I would recommend going during the day if your schedule allows it). We must've spent not more than 20 minutes there.

    Beautiful grounds with well designed and maintained walkways and paths allow from pleasant and peaceful viewing of the many sculptures. The art spans a number of decades and styles offering something for everyone.

    The sculptures are magnificent and the view is breathtaking! The glass labyrinth is a fun maze and the glass shines radiantly.
