About Us    
Imagine a place of quiet contemplation. A peaceful place, where art and nature come together to nurture mind, body and soul.

USA Children's Park is such a place.

Located in a wooded setting along the entrance drive to USA Children's & Women's Hospital, the park provides a tranquil place where children can set aside thoughts of injury and illness, where families can find respite from worry, and where the community can leave behind the stress of everyday life.     USA Children's Park sign

A Message of Hope and Strength

USA Children's Park is filled with more than 40 life-size bronze sculptures depicting children and families, providing a wonderful place of enjoyment and contemplation, and new sculptures are constantly being added.
All of the works of sculpture in the park were donated by patrons. Because of their generosity, Mobile is home to one of the country's premier sculpture parks. The park has been featured in Southern Living magazine, and received the Tree Preservation Award from the Mobile Tree Commission.

Magnificent oaks, some more than 200 years old, also offer their quiet strength. Beneath the branches, the permanent sculptures of children and families laugh, play, and enjoy. A footpath, with benches and lighting, winds through the park.

Our Mission of Healing

The idea of pairing a children's sculpture park and a hospital is based on something that we have done for many years at USA Children's & Women's Hospital. We have provided a place that, in every way possible, supports the healing process.

USA Children's & Women's Hospital first opened in 1985 as a "hospital within a hospital" at USA Medical Center. In 1997, our new state-of-the-art, freestanding hospital was dedicated. Today, USA Children's & Women's Hospital stands as one of six freestanding hospitals in the nation specifically serving children and women.    
To Heal the Body, You Must Heal the Mind

While medical expertise, technology and compassion are all important in the delivery of health care, environment also plays a significant role. From family-centered birthing programs and child-friendly pediatric care, to specially created artwork and the children's "Treehouse," USA Children's & Women's Hospital nurtures and supports the healing process.
Now, with the USA Children's Park, we are enhancing healing even more.
