Connecting to the Bow

In the earlier days of Bridgeland-Riverside, before an 8 lane freeway of Memorial Drive was built, the residents had easy access to the Bow River – for swimming, fishing and hanging out. This BRCA Beautification Committee wanted to bring back that connection in art on this plain chain link fence. This BRCA project, coordinated by Susan Mulholland was conceived and designed by local artist Janel Nail who mobilized many community volunteers to paint animals and scenes of the Bow River’s journey….. from its source high in the Rocky Mountains, flowing through Calgary and Bridgeland, and into the prairies beyond. See the info board at the West end of the park for all the details.
