 A generous gift by Charles S. Hayes made possible the creation of a unique public space for reflection, contemplation, and enjoyment of nature and art.Reopened in 2017, the Charles B. Hayes Family Sculpture Park was designed by noted American landscape architect Michael Van Valkenburgh on an eight-acre site at the south edge of the Notre Dame campus.A part of the Snite's permanent collection, the twelve sculptures in the park are by important national and international artists.
