From a 'demon beaver' and 'berserker rats' to an auditory experience to a baseball-and-Wordsworth themed piece, these aren't new, but may be new to you.

Many pieces in Vancouver are well-known, iconic even. The Digital Orca, the Reclining Figure in Dude Chilling Park and A-maze-ing Laughter are all examples of the accessible sculptures across the city. At the same time there are murals aplenty thanks to the annual mural festival.

2. Traffic Circles by Shauna Gillies Smith Garden Drive is a small residential street in the Hastings-Sunrise neighbourhood; like many such streets in Vancouver, there are several traffic circles.Instead of concrete circles of some sort, three large boulders pose a very real barrier, with signs letting people know they should go around them.

With the chain link fence folded back like theatre curtains and a quote from William Wordsworth, it's perhaps the only piece of public art in the city regularly used as sports infrastructure."This city now doth like a garment wear the beauty of the morning; silent, bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie open upon the fields, and to the sky."
