Description
Many approaches to Riley Park's community facility feature art. At the front entrance, the Welcoming Wall mural greets visitors with the powerful image of a tree grown from diverse individuals at play and leisure, a border of words in various languages echoing its message. Artist Joey Mallett developed the composition after extensive consultation with the Centre's many groups of seniors, youth and families, including ESL communities, who participated in art workshops and contributed drawings and ideas.
