St. Philip's Plaza (St. Philip's Fountain)

Highlight • Structure

From here you can see into St. Philip's Plaza, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the fountain near its center if crowds of people aren't in the way. This plaza isn't just popular with walkers and shoppers; it's also a common spot to begin or end a road ride.

Tracks and Trails Mural

Highlight • Monument

Tracks and Trails Mural, 2023. Artists: Jessica Gonzales and Rock Martinez. Overview: The vibrant painting depicts the relationship between wildlife, vegetation and humans in the desert ecosystem. Viewed from left to right, the mural reveals a typical day in the desert, starting at dawn and ending at night. Designed with elements of optical illusion, the mural creates a dynamic visual experience for viewers traveling the path across the wash, shifting and revealing new perspectives as they move past the artwork. The expansive mural not only enhances the landscape but also reflects the artists’ shared vision and their engagement with the surrounding community. Best viewed from the other side of the wash.
