Kingston Park Artists Involvement

Artists Involvement throughout Kingston Park Playground

Kingston park precinct artists

Kingborough Council commissioned original work from a variety of artists to enhance the different precincts of Kingston Park.  As you explore Skinks in the She-Oaks, you’ll spot Roland Gabriel’s carved wood sculptures – but you’ll need to dig beneath the sand to discover Gerhard Mausz’s Ghost of the Thylacine.  Allan Mansell’s uniquely Tasmanian motifs of birds and animals are found at each precinct gateway, along with writer Chris Viney’s evocative poems.  The dramatic and interactive installations by the Agency of Sculpture are featured throughout Kingston Park.
