February 2019 - Bunnyhenge is still there, along with other nice sculptures in the garden.

The whole sculpture garden is great! Enjoy the walk to the bunnies; I recommend going across the bridge and seeing the few things on the other side. There's a dog park there.

This place was cooler than I thought it would be! Bunnyhenge is located in a park across from the Newport Civic Center. Currently there are temporary art sculptures, and you can take a self-guided walking tour using the MyNB app.
[Stephanie, 07/05/2016]This sculpture is part of a rotating temporary art exhibit in Civic Center park and will be replaced in 2017 with a new sculpture. That means this roadside attraction's days are numbered.
[Doug Halvorsen, 06/05/2016]
The city of Newport Beach built a park outside their City Hall in 2013. They commissioned many cool sculptures, including a series of 16 oversized rabbit statues often referred to as Bunnyhenge. Public outcry ("Bunnygate") protested the fact that the city spent $220k on these bunnies.
