The Trackside Art Gallery is Western Canada’s largest open urban art playground.
Spanning half a kilometre, the Trackside Art Gallery runs parallel to the E&N Rail Trail between Hereward Park and Fairview Road. It is Canada’s largest legal graffiti wall.
The walls feature graffiti art that changes on a rotating basis and is self-managed by a community of urban artists.
The area is popular with local photographers, cyclists, nature enthusiasts and visitors. Visitors can walk or cycle along the E&N Rail Trail.
