THE CHAPUNGU SCULPTURE PARK  Loveland's renowned sculpture collection is a 26 acre garden located at the Promenade Shops. This magnificent sculpture garden just a short fifteen minute drive west of Greeley in neighboring Loveland. The  McWhinney Corporation developer of Centerra and Roy Guthrie and Marcey Mushore, directors and operators of The Chapungu Park and Gallery cooperated to bring this collection to Northern Colorado.

The Chapungu Sculpture Park is the first permanent exhibit of its kind in the United States. The park features stone sculptures from the Shona tribe of Zimbabwe. Each distinctive sculpture is handmade from indigenous stones from Zimbabwe,

The stone sculptures are direct, powerful, and deeply expressive. "As a refuge for the soul, the sculptures will remind the viewer of those matters so important in traditional African families - nature and the environment, the support and sharing within families, the respect for elders and paying tribute to the spirits, and the role of women and children in society," said Roy Guthrie, Curator and Park Director.

The park contains 80 sculptures in a professional designed park landscape. The park has very nice paths so the visitor can stroll and enjoy the art. There are many benches available also. The goal of the park is to connect visitors to a natural amenity that evokes emotion and ties back to not only African culture but also to the legacy of Loveland's sculpture heritage. Loveland Colorado has become so well known now for its sculpture community. With this addition it will be classed as a leader in sculpture display throughout the world.

The garden environment is extremely pleasant with a winding creek and natural pond called "sky pond" at it's center. The landscape blends in very well looking natural for this area.

The garden is easily reached. It is in the Promenade Shops a large lifestyle center shopping area. The area is located on the northeast corner of I-25 and highway 34. The Chapungu Garden is just east of the shopping area and there is parking galore. There are also many resturants close by within walking distantance.
