Site Description

Lauritzen Gardens is creating a new space dedicated to children and those young at heart with several areas to learn and play. This Artwork will be featured in the Discovery Overlook, which has tremendously scenic views of the Missouri River. The river’s flowing waters will carry through different design elements such as waves in the pavement and knee wall.

The space itself is the high-point of the Children’s Garden, and is approx. 35’x 20’ in dimension. The main pathway ascends up from the Gathering Plaza and enters the main space of the overlook.
