The park is home to the Chapungu Sculpture Centre, which hosts an important residency program that allows young sculptors to work on their craft for two years under its aegis; many of the sculptors whose work is shown in the park began their careers at the Centre. Another Chapungu Sculpture Park was created in 2007 in the United States, along with a gallery, in Loveland, Colorado.
