Welcome to Stone Quarry Art Park!


We are so glad you are here.

Stone Quarry Art Park is a not-for-profit organization. Stone Quarry was founded in 1991 by Dorothy and Robert Riester for the public experience and exploration of art and land.



Arriving

Stone Quarry has a pay-what-you-want admission policy. The suggested donation is $5/person. Contributions of any size are sincerely appreciated. Whether you give a little or a lot, we welcome you! There is a box at the top of the hill (on the A-Frame/office) for cash donations. You can also make a donation by clicking here.


Members of Stone Quarry help us keep the Park open to the public. Learn more about our membership options here.


There are red boxes that hold maps and information, located at the stone wall entrance, and at the top of the hill by the a-frame building.



A note about the weather (especially in the winter snow and spring mud!)

  • Entrance to the Art Park is not guaranteed. Stone Quarry's grounds are open year-round as a courtesy. We reserve the right to close at any time due to inclement weather. Please use discretion when planning your visit. When Cazenovia Central Schools are on a delay or closed due to inclement weather, the Art Park is likely closed or delayed in opening. Feel free to call the office prior to your visit for an update on conditions (315) 655-3196.
  • Snow removal can take several hours, and wind can cause snow drifts that make access to the top of the hill impossible. Four or all-wheel drive is recommended for making it to the parking area at the top of the hill in the winter.
  • Please do not move "closed" signs on any part of our driveway. If the driveway or a part of our driveway is closed to cars, please consider visiting another day. When you move these signs it endangers yourself and others.



Stone Quarry Art Park is a carry-in/carry-out facility.

There are no trash receptacles on site. This includes dog waste.


Hours

Stone Quarry's grounds are generously opened to the public every day of the year, from dawn until dusk.


Pets

Dogs are welcome, please pick up after them. DOGS MUST BE LEASHED.


Restroom facilities

We offer two restrooms with composting toilets for the convenience of our visitors. These restrooms are located at the top of the hill. There is running water in the restrooms for hand washing, the water in these facilities is not for drinking.


*Please note that the water to the restroom is turned off for the winter on Nov.1st. The toilets are still available with hand sanitizer pumps located both inside and outside of the restroom.


Trails

There is a gravel .25 mile trail that circles the top of the hill. There is also a gravel trail that leads into the Secret Garden. All other trails are grass, soil, boards, or wood chips. Trails are marked by a white diamond. The North Country Trail, maintained by the North Country Trail System, is marked with blue trail markers. Trails can be muddy and wet, especially after big rain events and in the spring.


Tours and large groups

Please let us know if you are planning to bring a large group to visit Stone Quarry Art Park. Advance notice allows us to plan accordingly.


For schools, community organizations, and other large groups, we are pleased to offer artist-led art experiences that engage art-making and the outdoors. Please email us at office@stonequarryhillartpark.org or call (315) 655-3196 for more information.


Food

We welcome outdoor dining and there are many wonderful places in Cazenovia to pick up food on your way to Stone Quarry. Open flames are prohibited but propane camp stoves are allowed. There are no grills on site. There are tables at the top of the hill and in the Secret Garden. There is a small pavilion available in the Secret Garden. We encourage you to bring your own chairs and blankets.
