Address: 9445 McLaughlin Road North, Brampton, ON L6X 4H9

This public art initiative is part of the My Neighbourhood Art Project, a series of site-specific, temporary art installations created in collaboration with the local community

This mural was created to celebrate the spirit of play, movement, and community life at Fred Kline Park. Inspired by the park's vibrant atmosphere, the artwork captures the wide range of recreational activities that could be enjoyed by visitors of all ages. From biking and running to dog walking and team sports, each silhouette represents the joyful ways people come together to stay active, connect, and enjoy the outdoors. Flowing bands of bright colour sweep across the walls. These colours move playfully across the building, echoing the dynamic rhythms of the surrounding landscape and the constant movement within the space. The design aims to uplift the environment while reflecting the diversity and liveliness of the community. By transforming this structure into a beacon of creativity and activity, the mural invites park-goers to see themselves within the artwork and encourages ongoing engagement with the many forms of recreation the park supports. It is a joyful tribute to Fred Kline Park as a place of connection, recreation and shared experience!

My Neighbourhood Art Project exemplifies the importance of meaningful community arts engagement and neighbourhood beautification.
