J. Finnegan Playground



The J. Finnegan Recreation Center facilitates extracurricular activities for the local neighborhood youth and for their 50th anniversary they commissioned a mural to reflect the spirit of the Center, covering all four exterior walls. I collaborated with fellow muralist Paul Downie to design a mural that includes: (1) the history of the Eastwick neighborhood; (2) a memorial to Charles Knox, a police officer killed in the line of duty; (3) representation of current local sports activities; and (4) children at play. Paul and I also organized a “Paint Day” as part of this project; on this day, children from the local elementary school came and joined in the painting of the mural.
