"Park Circle Summer Frolic" is a bronze sculpture by Pierre Bonnard, created in the late 19th or early 20th century. The piece depicts a ring of figures reclining in a circular formation, suggesting a scene of leisure and carefree enjoyment. Bonnard's unique style, characterized by simplified forms and a focus on color and light, is evident in the sculpture's abstract and evocative rendering of the human figures. This bronze sculpture, now located at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to Bonnard's exploration of the human experience and his ability to capture the essence of a moment.

An identical example of Park Circle Summer Frolic, intended to be a centerpiece, was in Vollard's personal collection. Its decorative quality demonstrates the belief of Bonnard and his fellow artists, the Nabis, that art should be integrated into everyday life.
