Readers of USA Today have voted San Juan Islands Sculpture Park as one of the 10-best in the United States. Candidate parks were nominated by a panel of experts, according to USA Today.
Of our park, located in the Roche Harbor neighborhood, USA Today wrote, “Located on the northern tip of San Juan Island, this 20-acre sculpture park melds Pacific Northwest wilderness with the inventive vision of both well-known and emerging artists. The park showcases over 150 diverse sculptures along marked trails — you might spot a colorful Native American totem pole near an abstract piece cut from a single stone. Between resident wandering deer and bald eagles soaring overhead, the wildlife is part of the experience.”
