Sugar Pines is also home to some of the Bago Sculpture Forest artworks, with artist Stephen King's striking work 'Grid Study IV' visible from the Sugar Pines carpark.

The Sugar Pines visitor area replaces the former iconic Sugar Pines walk, which was sadly destroyed in the Black Summer fires of 2019/20. The new Sugar Pines grove replaces those trees lost to the fires, and represents the resilience of the local Snowy Valleys community.
