File:2020 Untermyer Gardens Sphynx (west) Close-up.jpg
The gardens were developed beginning in 1916 and were designed by architect and landscape designer William W. Bosworth. At their peak, they were considered to be among the finest in the United States. The park and gardens were added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.

The Walled Gardens' open-air amphitheatre features two facing sphynxes, sculpted by Paul Manship, each on a small platform supported by two Ionic cipollino marble columns. The tiling of the amphitheater's stage floor (not seen) was based on a fresco from the ancient city of Tiryns, which featured spirals and papyrus lotus blossoms.

This is an image of a place or building that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places in the United States of America. Its reference number is 74002263.
