On a truss near the kids’ area of Underpass Park
The other side is just as fanciful!

Oh wow Resa these are so amazing to find them under a bridge! Lovely bright colors. 🙂
Yeah, the city is turning drab scary underpasses into colourful community and family areas. This one has 2 mini basketball courts, a skateboard area with ramps, etc., and a kids’ playground with some kind of hi-tech rubber material on the ground. It’s quite fabulous! 😀
Oh I think that is wonderful and you are capturing the evidence of the beautiful transformation. 🙂 Yay for you
It’s a better way! Yay for you, and all the positive messages you send out! You should have a pillar in an underpass!
Oh wow thank you Resa. What an awesome idea. When I was younger I used to paint windows for holidays for businesses it was so much fun. I also used to paint the run throughs for football players to run through when I was in school. So much fun. I never would have thought of that unless you mentioned it. I love this idea! I know just the bridge I would choose! 😀 😀 😀
😀 😀 😀
I love the idea of pigelephants. It looks like there are lots of imaginative, colorful characters flying, swimming, diving, and acrobating around under that overpass.
Yeah, it’s a fab place, now. It used to be scary, but now it’s a community/family area. This one has 2 mini basketball courts, a skateboard area with ramps, etc., and a kids’ playground with some kind of hi-tech rubber material on the ground.
So creative!
😀 😀 Yes! A gritty urban underpass becomes a a community park!
Reminds me of heffalumps and Woozles!
Ahh, I had to look that up. Yes, it does appear heffalumps and Woozles. 😀
Dumbo morphed into Porky ? What these kids in playparks get up to nowadays. I don’t know what they are on 🐖🐘😳 xoxoxo ❤
They are on the swings, Ralph, and on skateboards and on hyper energy…because they are kids! LOL! xoxoxoxo 😀 ❤
I absolutely love this. The colors are amazing and the art delightful.
It’s an enchanted place, in many ways.

This artist unquestionable had “playful” in mind. 🙂
Yeah, it’s a lot of young fun! 😀
Yeah, all of the trusses near the children’s playground area are very very fanciful! 😀
What a way to dress up bridge supports!
and you just happen to find them? that’s amazing!
great photos Resa!
Toronto is filled with street art and murals. It’s a wonderful thing, Eddie! It’s lots of fun going for a walk, and finding art!
I love these. The way they are positioned on the upper post reminded me of a carousel. Also kept thinking of heffalumps. 😉
Oh yeah, I get the carousel thing now that you mention it! Heffalumps are new to me, but I can see it! 😀
I love love love this one because it’s so not angular, and it’s a softer, almost throwback art style to the 1920s or around that time. Also love the action. Nice one.
Interesting comment on the art! TY, JW!
By far the best Pigelephants of art I have ever seen.
Beautifully done and I’m just fascinated by the Pigelephants. 🙂
Gorgeous designs that will surely inspire the imaginations of children. Cities should pay artists to cover up all concrete areas, and brighten all our days.
What a remarkable change all of the artists have made to, I’m sure, a once dull and dreary area. I absolutely adore the latest art, Resa.
Well done to the artists, and to your fabulous photography… 🙂
xoxoxo
This is giving me the urge to go and finally take those pictures for you of the underpass art I used to pass by every time I drove the kids to school… If it weren’t raining (again), I’d go today! Then again, if it weren’t raining, I’d be at work. Oh well! Eventually!
Now, back to these wonderfully colourful things! Love them.
GO GET PICS!!!! xoxo
I Will! I Will!! Xoxo
Looks like strange beings from another world, from outer space.
Superb artwork – quite dark I think, grotesque and carnival, Dali-esque. Good that kids can see something alternative and fantastic near to where they play that can help fire their imagination.
I love how the artist used the location to inspire the art!
Well, after all these years, here I am watching a pig fly.
Beautiful work. Thanks for always sharing.
The scale of imagination and artistry is mind- boggling. Kids would love this.
These are so colorful and interesting to look at!
