A former downtown helipad is taking on a new life. 🚁➡️🏀🎨

What was once a landing pad in Eau Claire is now a vibrant gathering place for sport, art, and community.

The decommissioned helipad is now home to three new basketball hoops and one of the largest murals in BUMP Festival history, created by Montreal artist marcolivierlamothe.

Thanks to our partners, this unique space has been transformed into a colourful destination where Calgarians can connect, play, and enjoy public art in the heart of downtown. Come play some hoops or simply enjoy the beautiful new addition to the area!

Learn more about the transformation and plan your visit at calgary.ca/downtownprograms.
