Confirmed from Anderson Center Sculpture Garden at Tower View's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“Be sure to head over to the water tower too; it's beautiful and there are more sculptures around there!”

I was on my way to a meeting and running a bit early so I stopped here to check out the sculptures. So many talented artists contributed to this area ranging from 1985 to 2021

Loved this spot! Free to enter and so many fun sculptures to walk around and take photos of. Be sure to head over to the water tower too; it's beautiful and there are more sculptures around there! Definitely worth a stop, great for kids and dogs too!

Cool sculptures. Getting there from the bicycle trail is A Lot of work. Go past to the parking area and ride up the road ;)

★★★★☆ — Dan , Jul 2024

Google takes you to the wrong entrance. Turn in one street further. Not at the Kwik Trip, one street, the other side. Speaking of... take note of the Kwik Trip. We didn't see any public restroom signs at the sculpture park. The sculptures are wonderful. Ojala just screams emotion. The park is well kept.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
