I allways want to put a cache here since I started the sport. You can reach this cache by bike or car. If you are from out of town, this cache is for you. Come and enjoy the art work and the view of Minneapolis. Do NOT try to look on the artwork. There is no bush wacking needed to find this cache.
Minneapolis Sculpture Garden
It's the place where John Philip Sousa conducted and where your web-footed friends fron the Minneahaha Zoo wintered at the turn of the century. Purchased by the City of Minneapolis in 1893, the Parade grounds served as the U.S. Army Reserve drill teams's practice field and was the home to the Kenwood Armory, a massive pseudo-Romanesque structure dedicated in 1907 that was demolished some 30 years later due to marshy ground and an inadequate foundation. The Armory Gardens survived until 1966.
This historic plot of land opened as the Minneapolis Sculpture Garden in 1988, and quickly evolved into both a popular destination and a model project of civic collaboration. The design by architect Edward Larrabee Barnes was expanded in 1992, making it one of the largest urban sculpture gardens in the United States. The Mpls. Park and Recreation Board owns and maintains the 11 acres and the Cowles Conservatory, while the Walker Art Center curates and
cares for the sculptures, including the iconic Spoonbridge and Cherry. The New York Times called it "the finest new outdoor space in the country for displaying sculpture."
