Set amongst 16 hectares of natural bushland, a visit to McClelland Sculpture Park + Gallery, Langwarrin enables space and time for families to reconnect with nature and experience Australian art and sculpture in new ways.
With an abundance of luscious green areas perfect for picnics and bushwalks, the dog friendly park means all the family are welcome to explore. Pack a picnic and your pup to enjoy a leisurely amble around the beautiful grounds on pram friendly paths.
Alternatively, at the heart of McClelland, Harry’s Cafe welcomes guests to dine in its light filled space overlooking McClelland’s beautiful bushland. Enjoy delicious coffee and cakes, a scrumptious kid’s menu and breakfast and lunch dishes crafted to celebrate wonderful regional produce.
McClelland welcomes families to get creative and step into nature with fun interactive resources. The Chatter Box and Play Walk have been designed to help explore the sculpture collection with games for kids of all ages to learn while they play.
Today, McClelland’s unique outdoor sculpture collection showcases over 100 works by prominent Australian sculptors such as Inge King, Lenton Parr and Clement Meadmore. A much-loved family favourite is ‘Frankie’, McClelland’s chrome gnome officially known as Reflective Lullaby, 2015, by Gregor Kregar. A captivating, monumental sculpture, this gentle giant has returned to McClelland and patiently waits to be discovered by little ones as they explore the park.
The beautifully rustic grounds have become home to a thriving wildlife sanctuary. Residents include long neck turtles, ducks, and a plethora of birds that shape the natural environment.
Immerse your family in art and nature at McClelland.
