39. Benson Sculpture Garden has been a deliberate plan by the citizens of
Loveland, CO, USA to create a vibrant arts town in this foothills
community. The garden is free and open sunrise to sunset. The garden has
an annual competition in August (http://www.sculptureinthepark.org/)
where artists show and compete (though I dislike the idea of 'compete'
with art). The garden is located at the intersection of 29th and Beech,
across the street from the high school. Parking is NOT allowed near the
school on school days, but if you just travel north on Beech, there is street
parking around the 'bend.'
This garden has restroom facilities and many benches to rest and view the
art. The signage is both in English and braille for vision impaired visitors.
The garden also appears to be wheel chair accesible. I came here to play
with my new camera and visit a couple of specific pieces (which I will post
in the respective Waymark categories).
The artwork ranges from traditional sculptures, many with a western
theme, to partial or full nudes to abstract. The collection is growing and
there are pieces on the south side of 29th (I just ran out of time).

40. Along with a peaceful serene setting and a backdrop of the great Rocky
Mountains sits Benson Sculpture Garden located at 2908 Aspen Dr,
Loveland, Colorado 80538. You might stroll through the area to admire
current sculpture art on display or to find a perfect spot in the shade and
just read a book and relax before the resuming your next adventure. For
a very memorable treat, take your family and walk along the paths and
amongst the various displays of creative bronze sculptures.
This sculpture garden is home to the annual Sculpture in the Park show
and currently displays approximately 131 unique, fun and imaginative
pieces of art on a permanent basis. Some of the items are puzzling, some
are true to life, some are humorous and fun, some are very serious.
Trying to guess the purpose behind each statue can become a personal or
competitive game as you wander. Remember, do not peek at the
descriptive marker beside each sculpture until you have taken a very
good guess. It is more fun that way and will awaken the imagination.
Whether you are a visitor in Loveland, just passing through, or thinking
of becoming a resident here, please take the time to visit the park.
Anyone who lives here on a permanent basis will tell you that it will be
time well spent, and a wonderful place to tell your friends about
