Friends of Sunset Park held an art-filled community celebration on Saturday, September 17 at
As part of the transformation from an elementary school to a neighborhood park, families, neighbors, former students and artists gathered for a day of celebration. Centered around the painting of murals, many children and adults painted scenes of wildlife and flowers on the outdoor walls, while others painted large cutout birds that will adorn the fence surrounding the park.
Several people painted a large mural that will serve as a welcoming image at the entrance. Events included a bake sale and barbecue. An information kiosk was built and installed as well. In spite of gray skies and occasional drizzle, it was a fun and well-attended event, with music performed by the Shorewood pep band.
