From the outside, it looks like the set of a wholesome 1950s sitcom, but step inside, and you’ll find yourself immersed in a world where art isn't just displayed... it's watching you back. The walls hum with inspiration (or is that the HVAC?), and every brushstroke on the paintings feels like a coded message from an avant-garde secret society.

Legend has it that if you stand in just the right spot and whisper "Bob Ross lives," a hidden door will open, leading you to an underground network of surrealist thinkers plotting the next great artistic revolution (or maybe just a really cool pottery class. I won’t spoil it for you 🤷🏼‍♂️).

I avoid this area of the park due to feeling unsafe and it’s definitely not safe to walk my dog around here as the refuse that’s left behind. The city, bylaw and the police need to make more visits to this area of the park deterring the vagrants from establishing themselves as...
