Gilgal Sculpture Garden

What an awesome find. Beautiful artwork, carvings and flora/fauna. There are beautiful scriptures carved into many stones. Even if not mormon, you'd enjoy the art and the nature. It's a little difficult to a you have to walk between 2 houses. There is a sign on the gate however not very visible from the street.

This is a cute little sculpture garden located between houses in Salt Lake City. It is operated by the city parks department and is only open during certain hours: 8am-8pm from April to September and 9am-5pm from October to March. There is a sign at the entrance with some information about preservation of the garden, but the printed guides it mentions were all taken and didn’t look like they’d been refilled anytime recently. Outside of that, the only other information is a sort of choppy timeline in the back of the garden, but to be honest, it left me with more questions than answers. The garden seems to be entirely themed on abstract Christianity, which isn’t my cup of tea, but the sculptures were still interesting. I’d say it’s worth a stop if you’re in the area, but I personally wouldn’t drive too far out of the way and I’d be wary of arrival time in the winter months.

It is a small park with nice sculpture. You can spend around 20-30 minutes looking into the sculptures and reading the history and vision of Mr Child towards building this park into his backyard.

Perfect place to sit and enjoy a garden. Very small but worth the stop if you love art and sculpture. Loved that I could smell everything in bloom.

Smaller than expected but great story to read❣️

Cool place to visit it's in a quiet neighborhood. Hidden gem of salt lake city. Check out the Joseph Smith sphinx! Such unique art and beauty. Flowers of all kinds all around. Could spend hours reading stone carvings everywhere.

sculpture garden with some unique pieces and beautiful flowers. Some of the pieces seem In complete or broken but still Worth a quick visit if around the area. It’s free to visit

It’s a fun time to walk around and check out this gem. If you’re visiting Salt lake and looking for a low key, low pressure experience this is a good option for you. I’ve been a handful of times and there were always very few other or no other people at all. It takes about 10 minutes to walk around and view everything of you don’t read about all the sculptures. Highly recommended as a low key experience.
