our dream for 2026
Accessible Trail
Next year marks the 20th anniversary of our beloved Sculpture Trail – a place where art, nature, and community come together.
To celebrate this milestone, we want to create something truly special:
An accessible extension of the existing trail, designed so that everyone can enjoy the beauty, creativity, and peace this space offers – regardless of mobility.
But we can't do it without your help.
🧡 Your donation will:
-
Fund accessible pathways
-
Support inclusive signage and seating
-
Ensure wheelchair and family-friendly access
-
Commission new gates and tactile sculptures
-
Create sensory experiences
Our aim
Our goal is to reach $20,000 to make our sculpture trail more inclusive to celebrate art in nature for all to enjoy.

How you can help
What your contributions would go towards:
-
$50 an established scented plant
-
$100 2m of fencing around the dam
-
$250 1m of hardwood decking
-
$500 towards commissioning new gates by local artists

$5,000 commission an artist to create a new tactile sculpture that can be safely touched and explored
With some hardwood decking, this old tram chassis will become a unique part of the trail
We'd like to commission an artist to create a creative gate for the entrance of the trail
You know we can't resist a great gate! Here are some of the others in our collection:
