Brunel Park is an intimate sanctuary of nature, art, culture, and history, nestled in the Ashokan Reservoir watershed. The Park was created by Emile Brunel, a French-Alsatian photographer, sculptor, and filmmaker who founded of the New York Institute of Photography in 1910 and moved to the Catskills in 1921. Between 1929 and 1941, he created the 14 concrete artworks that comprise the Sculpture Garden.
