Moody Park gets yarn bombed

If you head over to Moody Park, you'll notice it's been yarn bombed. You may ask, "What does that mean?" Century House members have covered 15 trees in decorative patterns of yarn as part of this weekend's 11th annual New Westminster Cultural Crawl.

Century House members have covered 15 trees in decorative patterns of yarn as part of this weekend's 11th annual New Westminster Cultural Crawl.

"We wanted to draw attention to the park and to our building so people know we are open Saturday and Sunday," said Shelly Schnee, recreation programmer for the seniors centre.

Schnee said the project had been in the works for a couple of months before members did the full installation Aug. 1.

"Everyone's so excited about how it turned out that they want to keep it up longer," she added. "We're not sure how it will age with weather but we'll keep an eye on it."

Century House is one of 25 destinations on the Cultural Crawl map. The event spans across seven neighbourhoods and will host upwards of 30 artists in other venues like the Van Dop Gallery and Throwing Neon Studios. The self-guided tour runs from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. both days. For more information, visit newwestculturalcrawl.com.
