The Chapungu Sculpture Park is the first permanent exhibit of its kind in the United States. The park features stone sculptures from the Shona tribe of Zimbabwe. Each distinctive sculpture is handmade from indigenous stones from Zimbabwe, the native country of Roy Guthrie and Marcey Mushore, directors and operators of The Chapungu Park and Gallery.

The stone sculptures are direct, powerful, and deeply expressive. "As a refuge for the soul, the sculptures will remind the viewer of those matters so important in traditional African families - nature and the environment, the support and sharing within families, the respect for elders and paying tribute to the spirits, and the role of women and children in society," said Roy Guthrie, Curator and Park Director.

When fully complete, the Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra will span 26 acres, featuring 80 installments of the stone sculptures. Plans for the grand-opening are targeted for August 2007.

McWhinney donated the land and infrastructure costs for The Chapungu Sculpture Park at Centerra. The goal of the park is to connect visitors to a natural amenity that evokes emotion and ties back to not only African culture but also to the legacy of Loveland's sculpture heritage.
