Town of Stony Plain
Buying and selling in Stony Plain
Murals downtown, farmland at the edges.
Stony Plain sits immediately west of Spruce Grove and keeps a more distinctly small-town feel. Its downtown is known for a long-running outdoor mural program, with painted historical scenes across many of the older buildings.
