Owner: City of Cadillac
Length: 1.6 miles

The Cadillac Garden Club donated a substantial amount of money and with grants from both the Cadillac Area Community Foundation Youth Advisory Committee and the Michigan Arts and Culture Council in 2017 purchased and installed an ensemble of new outdoor musical instruments. All the new instruments have different tones and pitches which allowed for the Cadillac Area High School Band percussion section to play songs on them at the ribbon cutting. The Garden Club which also maintains the landscaping at the park purchased a kinetic sculpture for the Sound Garden site.
