​​​​​Sculpture in the Parklands

​2002-2010

Visiting Sculpture in the Parklands at Lough Boora Discovery Park is a unique experience that transforms with each season, revealing new dimensions of the artworks and landscape. In spring, vibrant blooms and fresh greenery provide a lively backdrop, while soft, lengthening daylight highlights the textures and forms of the sculptures. Summer brings long, warm days where sunlight casts dramatic shadows, inviting visitors to explore every angle. As autumn arrives, the changing colors of the bogland and cooler, crisp air create a rich, contemplative atmosphere, enhanced by golden light filtering through the trees. In winter, the low sun casts strong, angular shadows over the bare landscape, and the often stark, quiet surroundings allow for a meditative encounter with the art. Throughout the year, shifting weather—from misty mornings to clear blue skies—adds layers of mood and meaning, making each visit a fresh and inspiring journey.
