Pinto Macbean

World’s Largest Pinto Bean

If you are new to Bow Island, be sure to meet the town mascot, Pinto MacBean. Since Bow Island is famous for the dry edible bean industry, the town mascot is a bean. The statue at the centre is an 18-foot-high statue of the mascot. The statute was designed by Jane Osborne and was made public in 1992.

Visit the Visitor Information Centre nearby before you begin your stay at Bow Island. Be sure to stop by the centre for helpful information about Bow Town and to take a photo with their town mascot! The centre is open at different times during the year, so check when they are open before stopping by.

Home Town of Artist Clyfford Still

Clyfford Still was a painter and one of the leading figures in the first generation of Abstract Expressionists.

Still’s family maintained a wheat ranch in Alberta, where he spent his childhood. Though he later denied its significance, the vast, flat landscape and harsh lifestyle of the Canadian prairie would exert a lasting influence on his worldview and artistic practice.

Bow Island Golf Club

The club began operating in 1955 when a group of locals asked the town council for approval to build the gold course. Throughout the years, the course has expanded by adding hundreds of trees along the fairways. It is now a 9-hole course, and due to irrigation, it is considered one of the best courses in Southern Alberta.

The course is suitable for golfers of all skill levels. Golfers can use the tree-lined fairways to test their accuracy while the picturesque backdrop gives them a comfortable atmosphere. The course is 3,050 yards of real grass and has white tees for men and red tees for women. If you get hungry, you can visit their restaurant to enjoy some snacks and burgers!
