With the sculpture "Poseidon" in the middle, Badeparken today is like a great, green lung located at the centre of Sandefjord. With trees and beautiful plants it features opportunities for both play and recreation.
During the spa era, the park surrounded the Society Building.
Sandefjord has so many sculptures that an entire book entitled "Worth Seeing" is dedicated to them. The town – and the book – invite you to enjoy a walking tour of the sculptures. Among the largest and most famous works of art are Knut Steen's "Hvalfangstmonumentet" by the harbour and "Fortuna" in Badeparken, Nils Aas' embellishment of Hjertnes' funds wall towards Badeparken, and Arnold Haukeland's "Havdronningen" outside the Hjertnes cultural centre.
There is a sculpture park at Midtåsen, featuring a selection of the works of Knut Steen in marble and bronze. The sculptures are placed within their own pavilion in the midst of beautiful natural surroundings.
