Orange Memorial Park Sculpture Garden   back | previous | next

The Orange Memorial Park Sculpture Garden provides a fantastic vehicle to display several sculptures within a relaxing park-like setting. In collaboration with the Cultural Arts Commission, Callander Associates worked to create a space that would not only provide places for sculpture, but would also become sculptural in itself. The focus of the garden is the first installed bronze sculpture “Safe Passage”, around which a circular area of turf and stone paving creates a central gathering space. From this “heart” curvilinear pathways radiate out through the garden providing connections to seating areas, future sculpture placements, tennis and bocce ball courts, and colorful garden plantings. The plantings themselves enhance the sculptural environment by creating colorful waves of flowers that offset the curving pathways. The sculptural focus was further developed in the careful selection and design of various site furnishings. Taking queues from the curvilinear forms in the garden, the foot high ornamental metal fence was designed with curved cross members, resulting in a rhythmic wave pattern along the entire length of the fence. These curves also reveled themselves in carefully selected benches, trash receptacles, and pedestrian lighting fixtures, further uniting the sculptural landscape design.
