Look Up, Down and All Around on North Surrey's Public Art Walk

The North Surrey Public Art Walk is a self-guided tour you can enjoy at your own pace—typically taking about 60 minutes, depending on how long you linger at each piece. While we suggest a recommended route, feel free to explore the artworks in any order using our North Surrey Public Art Walk Map. Wander through North Surrey, the vibrant urban core of our city, and discover a rich collection of public art. This thriving area highlights Surrey’s growth with its research centers, educational institutions, and revitalized civic hub. Be sure to look up, down, and all around—artwork graces parks, libraries, transit stations, and municipal buildings. Throughout your walk, you’ll notice recurring themes of history, multiculturalism, transformation, and community. Many pieces honor the Indigenous peoples whose unceded Coast Salish territories we inhabit, including the Kwantlen, Semiahmoo, Katzie, and Tsawwassen First Nations. If you’re starting at stop 1 near Civic Plaza, we recommend grabbing a coffee at one of three nearby cafés. Take Five Cafe inside Surrey City Hall serves a perfectly balanced caramel macchiato, while Prado Cafe in the Civic Hotel lobby offers a refreshing espresso tonic—a surprising blend of espresso, tonic, and orange, perfect for warmer days.
