About
Windsor Sculpture Park - Online App
Enjoy the Windsor Sculpture Park collection from the comfort of your own home. The City of Windsor's talented team in Engineering - Infrastructure and Geomatics worked alongside the Cultural Affairs team to create an interactive, up-to-date online app that allows you to take a tour of the Windsor Sculpture Park's sculptures and monuments using your smart phone or tablet.
Or, you can visit the sculpture park and fire up the app for an interactive experience that lets you be your own tour guide as you experience Windsor's outdoor "museum without walls."
COVID-19 PRECAUTIONS: If you are attending the Sculpture Park in person, please remember to practice all Provincial and Municipal safety protocols for proper social distancing. If you plan to check out the sculptures with friends, you must follow the regulations for outdoor gatherings limits of 25 people. And, if proper social distancing is not possible, please ensure you wear a mask.
Enjoy the Windsor Sculpture Park safely this year.

The Windsor Sculpture Park is a museum without walls, a unique park showcasing more than 31 large-scale, internationally recognized works of contemporary sculpture by world-renowned artists.
It is a place of convergence and divergence, difference and similarity.
The Windsor Sculpture Park is located mainly on the shores of the Detroit River within Ambassador and Centennial Parks, between the Ambassador Bridge (Huron Church Road) and The Art Gallery of Windsor (Church Street). Some of the sculptures are in other City of Windsor Parks, like Reaume Park, Jackson Park, Vision Corridor and City Hall Square.
The Windsor Sculpture Park is made possible by the generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Odette and the P & L Odette Foundation. The park is maintained by the City of Windsor, Parks and Recreation.
For Mr. Odette, it was extremely important to have art in public spaces. He generously donated to Windsor and viewed his gifts as part of the Windsor culture scene - an outdoor public gallery open every day of the year, free of charge to Windsorites and visitors.
The recent name change to Windsor Sculpture Park reinforces the importance of the sculpture park as a significant cultural asset and a place which welcomes new sculptures donated by other individuals and groups. The Odette Family continues to have very strong ties to Windsor and a strong commitment to recognizing our city as a cultural leader. Mr. Odette's greatest wish was that Windsor's outdoor sculpture park would be widely known and firmly positioned as a Windsor cultural asset.
His legacy, including the gifts of numerous sculpture, transformed the riverfront parks. We are truly grateful to the Odette family and their vision for art in the riverfront lands.
