Frank Curto Park in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, is a sculpture-filled city park located between Downtown and Polish Hill, featuring a collection of works by contemporary urban artists. Named after Frank S. Curto, a prominent horticulturist who worked with the city's Parks and Recreation department for over two decades, the park also houses a flock of wild turkeys that roam the surrounding hillside.

The park has become a central venue for the ArtGardens of Pittsburgh initiative, showcasing community-based art gardens populated with works by local artists. Notable installations include a large yellow metal abstract sculpture by John Henry, a circular garden created by Philadelphia environmental artist Lily Yeh, and living sculptures by Vermont sculptor Dan Ladd, all contributing to the park's unique blend of art, nature, and community engagement.
