Confirmed from Gerry Welch Sculpture Garden'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.
Tiny, kid-friendly space featuring whimsical sculptures, walking paths and creek access.
What runners say about Gerry Welch Sculpture Garden
Delightful and whimsical sculptures at the intersection of Kirkham & Gore brighten up this corner of Webster Groves. Don't miss the adjacent Shady Creek Nature Area for a peaceful wooded area with Creek.
Great place to walk around and explore!! Great for a scavenger hunt and for picnics. Woodland trails with art pieces along the trail. Definitely worth the visit
Another great little nook to explore. Small creek running through and almost completely hidden from the street.
There are sculptures at the Sculpture Park. My main complaint is that the sprinklers run when it's raining but that may be some sort of art thing I'm not sophisticated enough to understand. On the other hand, maybe they don't have a rain sensor. Art can be a very complicated thing.
