Lakenenland Sculpture Park

Tom Lakenen, a welder by trade, creates large sculptures from scrap metal that he scavenges  from construction sites. The sculptures filled his front yard until the early 2000’s when local officials declared that the sculptures violated an ordinance. Tom promptly bought 37 acres of woodland, built roads, and moved his sculptures to the new property. He also built ponds, a playground, a picnic shelter, and a band shell for concerts.

  There are almost 100 sculptures which range from whimsical to satirical. The styles are so different that we thought there must be more than one artist represented but they are all created by Tom Lakenen. The park is opened 24 hours, every day, and it’s all free.

      

       

                    

 

   Due to soft sandy ground the park is not accessible but the road is wide enough for any RV and all the sculptures can be viewed from a vehicle. The bog trail has roots and narrow boards for walkways and is not accessible.

  RVs can be parked in the small parking area or along the entry road. Park  46.49219, -87.15185
