- Citygarden is an urban park and sculpture garden in St. Louis, Missouri owned by the City of St. Louis but maintained by the Gateway Foundation. It is located between Eighth, Tenth, Market, and Chestnut streets, in the city's "Gateway Mall" area. Before being converted to a garden and park, the site comprised two empty blocks of grass. Citygarden was dedicated on June 30, 2009, and opened one day later, on July 1, 2009. Citygarden is 2.9 acres (1.2 ha) in size—occupying two square city blocks—and cost US$30 million to develop. St. Louis' Gateway Foundation, a not-for-profit organization supporting public art, funded the design and construction of the garden. While the city owns the land on which Citygarden was developed, the foundation owns the statues and covers all park maintenance costs except water and electricity. The Gateway Foundation is also in charge of providing additional security for the garden. There is no admission fee for visitors of Citygarden, which is located close to St. Louis' Gateway Arch and Busch Stadium. The park is open year-round and complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. (en)

- I'm already hearing from CEOs about how much they love this garden. With one stroke, Citygarden has made downtown far more attractive as a place to do business and as a place to live, too, because downtown's 12,000 residents suddenly have one of the coolest urban parks in the country in their backyard. (en)
- The challenge and the opportunity was not just to make a sculpture garden, but a place for the public. The challenge was what kind of armature or framework to use to create both a grandness of scope and the intimacy necessary for the installation of individual works of sculpture. Although the site was pretty blank, we looked into its history, its broader context. We ended up using the great rivers that define the region to structure the design conceptually. ... It's really a hybrid landscape. It's some combination of a city park and a sculpture garden. ... It has no limits. We wanted to make this site accessible to everybody. ... And one of our intentions was literally to create a diversity of spaces and places because we felt not only would that accommodate this range of sculpture, it would accommodate a great range of people.
