Pullman Park Mural Project

Visuals and ideas from the mural will be solicited from the community surrounding Pullman Park. Youth from Groundwork Richmond and Girls Inc will work on the design and paint the mural during the summer. Richmond artist Rebeca Garcia-Gonzalez will lead this process.

Pullman Park was adopted in 2013 by Groundwork Richmond and since enhanced trails for pedestrians and cyclists, built a fence, built rainwater gardens to control future storm water surges, and installed benches and bike racks.
