This mural project has been an effort to bring diverse interests in the
community, both locally and at large, together to beautify and care for the
park, address graffiti and to bond over a common cause demonstrating
positive movement in the park.  It has been a great journey.  

GO ON AND CELEBRATE!

 

Friends of Paradise Park would like to thank all its partners for their hard
work and support on this project.
