Engraved aluminum public art in St. Albert, AB
The site of In Motion, Riel Park’s Amenities Building serves as a gathering place for groups meeting for activities taking place in the park. The common thread of In Motion is, clearly, motion: people getting out, getting together, and being active in the setting of Riel Park.
