The Park and Gallery are located in Langwarrin 45 minutes from Melbourne, at the gateway to the Mornington Peninsula (near Frankston). And don't forget to take your furry friend with you as it's a dog-friendly park (on-leash only)!

The outdoor sculptures are interesting and quirky, making it a great affordable attraction to bring the kids to let off steam. 

Bring your picnic blanket to enjoy your picnic by the beautiful lake and stare out at the ducks playing in the water or the different sculptures that surround you. Alternatively, visit the café that provides great lunch and coffee options. There’s also a gift shop available on-site, which only enhances your experience.

McClelland Sculpture Park and Gallery is Australia’s first family founded public gallery dedicated to art and sculpture. This Sculpture Park is more than just an exhibition of contemporary art.
