Sengkang Sculpture Park (Chinese: 盛港雕塑公园) is a park located in the Compassvale North Gate neighbourhood in Sengkang New Town in Singapore.
The park evolved from Sengkang's "fishing village / marine" theme and design brief which called for the introduction of "Arts in the Park". The 24,000-square metre park is divided into two parts (one bigger and the other smaller). The two parts straddle over Compassvale Street. Since the park is bounded overhead by LRT viaducts and underground by MRT tunnels, adhering to the LTA's Railway Protection requirements during both design and construction stages was a challenge.
The sculpture park is specially designed to allow for greater opportunity for the park user to interact with the sculptures and spaces created. This would in turn create a personal experience for the individual park user, both young and old.

Famous quotes containing the words sculpture and/or park:
“You should go to picture-galleries and museums of sculpture to be acted upon, and not to express or try to form your own perfectly futile opinion. It makes no difference to you or the world what you may think of any work of art. That is not the question; the point is how it affects you. The picture is the judge of your capacity, not you of its excellence; the world has long ago passed its judgment upon it, and now it is for the work to estimate you.”
—Anna C. Brackett (1836–1911)
“The park is filled with night and fog,
The veils are drawn about the world,”
—Sara Teasdale (1884–1933)
