Supporting Our Mission
As an all-volunteer organization, your donation is used 100% to support the mission of the Friends of Brunel Park and to maintain Brunel Sculpture Garden.
We are proud that Brunel Park offers so much to our Catskill communities: low and zero cost programs, beautiful gardens, unique statuary, a woodland sanctuary, and of course the peace and tranquility that nature abundantly provides - all without requiring an admission fee. We are proud that visitors are welcomed to discover, explore, and enjoy Brunel Park regardless of ability to pay, and thankful that our donors, sponsors, and paying visitors are so generous in their support of our work.

Your Donation At Work: The 2023 - 2027 Sculpture Restoration
Thanks to our generous community donations, The Friends of Brunel Park were finally able to undertake major restoration of the largest and most significant sculptures in the collection at Brunel Park. This project was decades in the making, and the support of our friends, neighbors, donors and A and M Masonry made it possible!
Learn how the work was done by listening to Brett Barry’s Kaatscast Podcast. Click HERE.
We have more sculptures to restore! Nature has her ways and no matter how hard we try, it’s impossible to keep up with the effects of winter weather on outdoor environments, like Brunel Park. If you enjoy driving past these magical, mythical iconic structures on Route 28, and seeing them looking their best, then join the party and donate now!
Your tax deductible donation directly supports:
The ongoing restoration and preservation of our iconic totem poles and statues
Diverse programming from Indigenous perspectives
Interpretive guides for our sculptures and plants
Creation of new gardens and maintaining of existing native and ornamental planting beds
An artist in residence program for artists representing POC and Indigenous communities.
