Kanaka Creek Regional Park Interpretive Mural
Metro Vancouver Regional Parks launched a community mural project in Kanaka Creek Regional Park in Maple Ridge. The mural is under the 240th Street bridge at the Fish Fence site – a popular area for strolls along the creek, especially to view spawning coho and chum salmon in the fall. The artwork is in three interconnected locations: under the bridge, along a retaining wall west of the bridge, and on the bridge pillars.
