The Windsor Sculpture Garden was established in October 1997 with eight sculptures donated by Mr. and Mrs. Lou Odette and the P&L Odette Foundation. These were placed on the riverfront between the Ambassador Bridge and Curry Avenue.

Shortly thereafter, a Steering Committee of prominent citizens and artists was established to review the proposed donations.  In September 2001, the garden was renamed the Odette Sculpture Park in honour of its benefactors, Mr. and Mrs. Lou Odette and the P&L Odette Foundation. Since its inception, the Odette Sculpture Park (OSP) has drawn considerable attention.  In 1998 the Sculptors’ Society of Canada named the City the Sculpture Capital of Canada.

During the summer ‘art cart’ tours are available.
