ANN AND JIM GOODNIGHT MUSEUM PARK
Choose your own adventure in the Park. Step inside a cloud chamber. Picnic near the iconic trio of Gyre rings, or relax on the Ellipse lawn. Bike and jog along the Capital Area Greenway and wooded trails. Discover points of interest on trail-side signs with information on art and the history of the NCMA, and participate in recreational programs and performing arts. The Museum Park features temporary and permanent art installations, environmentally sustainable landscapes, colorful and contemporary gardens, 4.7 miles of recreational trails, and a terraced pond.
