Closed for landscape renovation. Not much you can see

Really unique spot, everyone should take a look. Unfortunate that this place suffers from a lot of vandalism.

Felix Lucero - 1895 - 1951

The artist sculptor was born in Trinidad, Colorado in world war. In World War 1 he like critically injured on a forgotten battlefield he vowed to God and to himself that if he survived, he would dedicate the remainder of his life to the sculpting of religious statues for which he had natural talent. After 20 years of this pious work in various parts of the country, he arrived in Tucson in 1938 heartbreak and pain walked with the artist during his sacred efforts.

I suggest you stop by if you're ever in Tucson. It's a small art exhibit that's free to the public and has a back story. It was very beautiful and once I read the back story I loved it even more.

This place has been here for a while. Nice sculptures,but through the years, they have been vandalized. Fingers and feet are missing from the Apostles and Baby Jesus. Probably taken for keepsakes. The Hawks that are nesting at the entrance are also pretty cool.

This garden has a beautiful story. The sculptor was badly wounded in World War I and promised God that if he survived, he would devote the rest of his life to creating religious statues. He made such statues in many cities. The Garden of Gethsemane in Tucson is a small, pretty park, and the statues are lovely. There is a children's playground next to it.

This delightful little sculpture garden is situated in a fairly peaceful section of the riverbank. With well maintained paths and a wheelchair accessible entrance and ramps.

The information sign about the sculptor is very informative and altogether the garden has a wonderful atmosphere.

Parking is good and plentiful and the sculptures themselves are beautiful and have a great history. They are more than worth seeing. Expect to spend about 10-15 minutes here on average.

Though it’s unavoidable and normal with spots like this you run into homeless people setting up shop. Otherwise this is a nice peaceful serene place to come and reflect and gather your thoughts and look at the very cool sculptures as well. 👍☺️
