About

This mural introduced the theme of children at play continued with Toboggan Hill at 5112 and completed with Fishing in Mimico Creek at 5096 Dundas W. Three murals are set in the 1920s.
The Guelph Radial Line linked Islington to communities from Lambton Mills to Guelph between 1917 and 1931. Islington was a destination for family outings and weekend picnics long before the subway transformed the area into a bedroom community.

The mural is set in the 1920s and painted in a style reminiscent of old postcards.
