The City of Sacramento's Office of Arts and Culture commissioned 27 artists to make artwork related to the trail and its surrounding community. Twenty Phase 1 artists, from a variety of disciplines, are engaging with communities along the trail, making art about the trail, and creating a visual dialogue of artwork that will help inform the permanent sculptures and provide additional content for trail visitors. Seven Phase 2 artists have created 18 permanent sculptures along the Del Rio Trail in two main categories: wayfinding art and gathering locations.

The Del Rio Trail is in the City of Sacramento along a five‐mile abandoned railway corridor to the west of Freeport Boulevard from approximately Sutterville Road to the north and Pocket Road to the south. To address equity for all residents of Sacramento and to support public space conditions where everyone can be healthy, the Del Rio Trail combines the creation of a trail‐park infrastructure with community engaged public art along this vital pedestrian corridor.
