Location: Behind the Pam McConnell Aquatic Centre, Dundas Street East

Regent Park is only part way through its redevelopment but already it has tons going for it. Now even Mario and friends are making an appearance. In October 2022 the two large cement structures behind the pool complex at Dundas and Sumach were brightened up with images inspired by the Mario Brothers video games. While all of the murals stick close enough to the game esthetic to be strongly nostalgic, I love this one with its more whimsical take on Mario and his swimming costume. This does sit behind the aquatic centre after all. Thanks to Alex Simku and Tanya Giannelli for this bit of fun.
