Arts in the Parks: POOLBODY

As part of the broader Arts in the Parks initiative, POOLBODY brings a refreshing wave of site-responsive performance art to Etobicoke's Flagstaff Park. Curated by Shalon T. Webber-Heffernan, this unique series activates local aquatic spaces to reflect on memory, access, embodiment, and civic leisure.

Running on August 7, 2026, the Flagstaff Park stop features an engaging mix of participatory works and live performances by artists including Nyda Kwasowsky, Tess Martens, and Ranganathan Rajan. Alongside the avant-garde performances, families and local residents can enjoy a dedicated children's art workshop and community exhibition.

What to Expect This is an outdoor, community-oriented event that blends contemporary performance art with accessible public engagement. It's an ideal afternoon outing for families looking to experience public parks in an entirely new light.

Getting There Flagstaff Park is located at 42 Mercury Road in Etobicoke. It's accessible via local transit routes, making it a great afternoon escape into community-driven public art.
