The Environment Agency reported on 21 August 2026 that it had launched an artworks map for Salisbury River Park, intended to help residents and visitors find pieces across the park and learn about their inspiration. The project was curated by public art commissioning organisation Studio Response in partnership with Salisbury City Council.

The map covers work including Zac Newham's fish-inspired picnic benches, a low-sensory willow sculpture at Ashley Road Open Space and the River of Life installation at the new play park; Jane Edden's sculpture Fleeting at the Pocket Park near Mill Stream Approach; murals by Fred Fieber and Tech Moon; and eight short musical pieces by composer Karen Wimhurst.

A treasure trail designed by Newham was reported as launched that week, with a fully accessible one-mile route and clues about wildlife and heritage; completers could enter to win a piece of River Park artwork. The report said the secret word had to be uncovered by 30 August 2026 and prizes collected from Five Rivers Leisure Centre. It added that some fencing remained to protect growing vegetation, with plans to remove it later that summer.
