Hidden behind a weathered wooden fence, on an unremarkable road, is a truly fantastic collection of modern sculpture. The Lynden Sculpture Garden, opened 2010, houses more than 50 large-scale modern pieces spread over 40 acres of grounds. The wide, open, grassy, parkland allows these monumental pieces to sprawl. Visitors can move around them and view them from both a comfortable distance, and as close as they please. The grounds are pleasant and well-kept, with a few unique beds. But on the whole, the grounds are primarily there to showcase the art. As you circle the pond, be aware that despite the grass looking lush and green, much of it is level with the lily pond in the middle of the grounds – and therefore full of squish.
