Shady Lane Community Mural at Dateland Park
The Shady Lane Community Mural is a collaborative public-art installation located directly across from Dateland Park in Coachella. Unlike a traditional mural built around one continuous scene, this extended wall is divided into long individual sections created by different artists. Each section introduces its own imagery, colors, style, and perspective, turning the wall into an outdoor gallery that changes as visitors move from one artwork to the next. The collection reflects the creativity and community identity that have made public art such an important part of Coachella’s visual landscape. Its variety also makes it an interesting place to photograph, with wide compositions capturing the full wall and closer images revealing the details within each artist’s contribution. Although it complements Coachella’s broader mural culture, the Shady Lane Community Mural is a distinct destination from the better-known Pueblo Viejo murals. Its location beside Dateland Park makes it an easy stop for anyone exploring the city’s neighborhoods, parks, and public artwork one place at a time.
