Artists also interact with the public, often leading talks about their passion for art and their experience at the park.  This program involves local art councils, guilds and galleries in the process of selecting the artists and providing locations for display of their work beyond the park.

Far away from the lights, sounds and distractions of city life, artists can find inspiration in the solitude and the surroundings of the park.
