Comprised of 175 acres of land that includes formal gardens and forested areas, creeks, trails, and lookouts to hideouts, Montalvo's grounds generate inspiration from artists who visit. Throughout the year, artists will be invited to explore the reaches of outdoor public sculpture with site-specific work or art interventions on the property, while others may explore the environment by exhibiting their existing sculptural works. The community is invited to contribute to the creative process through participation in the installation of certain site-specific works, and visitors are always welcome to explore the grounds and view the sculptures.

Beginning in late 2010, Montalvo began acquiring works to be permanent sculptures placed on the grounds for visitors to view year round. Broken Wing (2004), by David Middlebrook, located in the Phelan Cactus Garden, is the first such piece.

The Sculpture on the Grounds are open to the public for viewing during Montalvo's normal park hours, Monday - Thursday, 8am - 5pm and Friday - Sunday, 9am - 5pm.
