stone quarry hill art park印象

It is genuinely difficult to categorize this unique venue. It sprawls over more than 100 acres, contains remarkable art works that are part of the permanent displays, and wonderful temporary exhibits by some of the best artists in the country. It also possess a variety of trails that are highlighted by selected works of art. It is more than pleasant to round a corner and find yourself gazing at an impressive esthetic realization. Unlike many places, I have yet to encounter a "don't touch" sign.It is accessible to all ages, has educational programs for kids, a rotating variety of artists in residence, and an annual summer sale of some of the best pottery you can find. We probably own more of it than we should, but it is impressive and very reasonably priced. (I'm a retired academic possessing what could hardly be termed deep pockets.) The pottery candle holder below is one of my favorites and throws great shadows at night when literature. There are nooks, crannies, and many places to picnic (recommended). There is no fee, but a donation of $5/car is suggested. It is worth a good deal more than that and constitutes an exceptional memory.

The park was very interesting and I could imagine it was great years back. The park was unkept and neglected. The covet was interesting but disappointed with my experience.

Creative art, loved the different styles and use of different materials. Great for art enthusiasts, I am not one but I could enjoy the work put into each piece. This is definitely worth a stop.

We visited the Art Park on a summer afternoon, and leisurely walked around the grounds on the well-maintained trails. The sculptures were interspersed among the trees, meadows, and paths, and were sometimes quirky, sometimes abstract, sometimes just for fun - but always interesting to look at and touch. One of the best parts was the absolute lack of "commercialism" and tourist-trap distractions. Our 19 year old granddaughter enjoyed it as much as we did (we are in our retirement years) and we wished we had brought our dog, who would've especially enjoyed the shady trails and pond. This is a great place to go!

Great to walk around on a nice, sunny day and almost stumble across sculptures and other art objects as you walk along the trails.

would be my recommendation to get the most out of this quite different art display. Various oversized art pieces are spread over the grounds and some of them are on woodsy trails and not seen well, or at all, from the road. Great effort has been put in to this art park. A visitor should be equally prepared to put forth some effort; I believe that is part of the idea. It makes for a very different type of a hike. There is a box for paying a minimal fee, quite inexpensive, something like $5 a car.

I have been to Stone Quarry Art Park twice. Lots of art installations to view and plenty of trails to enjoy and make a good day of it. The 2nd time here, the indoor art exhibit was open. We enjoyed the walks around and the unexpected art in the fields/woods like the shed that connects two trails (forget the actual name).Taking a drive into Cazenovia and take a rest at Lakeland Park on the lake and/or a drink/meal at the Brae Loch Inn (across the street from the park), too.

This was a really great place to find- you only need a couple of hours (or less) and can wander through the well marked trails to see different kinds of art as well as beautiful views. It is dog friendly which is also a plus. As a caution, the park requires dogs to be on leashes, but does not enforce this rule. As it was our first visit we had our dog on a leash. We passed many others whose dogs were not on a leash, but they were well trained and there were no problems. It would be great to leave it with that and appreciate a laid back environment to enjoy nature with your family and dogs. However, at one point two very large (125/150 pound) dogs came up to us on the trail. Their owner was not in sight, the dogs were certainly not under voice/sight control, and while one was friendly the other dog began to act aggressively towards our dog. Eventually the owner was found, who did not even have leashes on her, and I followed her to the car to be sure they left before I was willing to continue on another trail. It is so unfortunate when something like this happens and, for safety reasons, I would personally be hesitant to return to this park with either dogs or small children.

Stone Quarry Hill Art Park is a great place to spend a couple of hours. Wander the grounds, look at (and for) artworks, which range from the sublime to the silly, and enjoy the scenery.

very nice grounds with surprises around every corner just a few miles out of town and it also hosts a lot of fun events like kite flying etc
