The park - Next Generation Community Park - was meant to have been finished in the current month of June, but due to Covid it's far from finished, but the mural has been painted on the wall of an existing business building adjoining the park.
Because of fencing around the construction site I could only photograph the mural sideways through the metal fence. Will have to keep an eye out for when it's finished so I can take better photos.
The project is turning an inaccessible storm water basin into a smart park with interactive water education stations, a habitat for wildlife, boardwalks, a pedestrian bridge to access a street on the other side, free WiFi, smart benches to charge devices...
By coincidence the mural that I posted last week is in another park in the same street! Both murals are a couple of blocks from the Carousel shopping centre.
If you like murals or have a mural you'd like to post, this meme is for you;

Making storm-water cachements into recreational areas is a wonderful trend! We have one near us that's very well designed -- no murals there, though!
ReplyDeletebe well... mae at maefood.blogspot.com
This is the first one I'm aware of here in Perth, but it's a great idea. Thanks Mae.
DeleteDearest Sami,
ReplyDeleteLove the native bird, reptile and frog!
Do you actually find cacti in your region?
Hugs,
Mariette
Yes there are a lot of cacti as well as succulents in our area. Thanks Mariette
Delete...the wildlife comes right off the walls. Thanks Sami for hosting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom :)
DeleteThis is a very clever way to build up the storm-water basin area. The mural is gorgeous and goes on FOREVER. Sadly, the Cooper Tire sign draws you eye into the photos. I love the mural, though and the nature inspired art these two artists seem to be so good at creating.
ReplyDeleteI held my breath today wondering if my photo would post. Seems it did. I have NO idea what happened last week.
I have no idea why there is an advert facing the new park, but it certainly detracts from the mural. Thanks Elizabeth
DeleteThats going to be a very nice area when it's finished, hopefully people appreciate it.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be a super park. Thanks Amy
DeleteBeautiful. Such vibrant colours. So much "life". Thank you for sharing this, it´s wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Iris, I love the bright colours too.
DeleteNice shooting Sami
ReplyDeleteThanks Cloudia :)
DeleteVery nice murals. I suppose the area can still flood if it needs to without the water reaching the new buildings and facilities.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andrew. Not sure how the "flooding" would work.
DeletePor aqui não se vê, infelizmente, toda esta criatividade.
ReplyDeleteBoa semana
Tem que contractar alguns muralistas Australianos Pedro :)
DeleteSo great painted all!
ReplyDeleteThanks Marianne :)
DeleteIt does seem like Australia has got its act together when it comes to using the environment well. Look forward to seeing more. Have a good week Sami.
ReplyDeleteThank you Joanne, have a great week too :)
DeleteThe mural is quite wonderful, Sami, but the plan to transform this place into a little oasis, with habitat for wildlife is the best news of all.
ReplyDeleteI agree it's a great project David, specially for the wildlife.
DeleteSuch a great piece of art, and a great way to get people to visit the park. Hugs, and hope you're well. RO
ReplyDeleteHi Ro, thank you. Have a great week.
DeleteHello, I just love the wildlife murals, the birds, turtle and frog are beautiful. The new park sounds wonderful. Enjoy your day, wishing you a happy new week!
ReplyDeleteThank you Eileen, I'll have to check on the park's progress as I think it will be a great place to visit.
DeleteSmart park is a new term to me. Love the idea.
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I hear of it too, but I think it's going to be great Jackie.
DeleteExcellent mural Sami, they work well to compliment each other. Another park is always a good thing 💚 Will have to organise a catch up soon xox
ReplyDeleteThanks Grace. I have arrangements for this Friday, but maybe we could catch up on the 10th. Will message you one of these days.
DeleteThere is a lot of nature featured in that mural. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon, it is quite nice.
DeleteIt is wonderful, Sami! I hope that it doesn't get damaged as the park construction continues.
ReplyDeleteThanks Pat, I hope they will be careful, I can only imagine that they will put some grass next to the mural wall.
DeleteVery well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks William :)
Deleteinteresting project.cheerful murals, yes, hopefully they won't get damaged during construction.
ReplyDeleteThanks Klara, I'm sure they will be careful :)
DeleteI never cease to be amazed at the skill -- both artistically, in terms of color, everything -- of the artists who do murals. Nice one, Sami.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jeanie. The scale of most murals amaze me, I have no idea how they get it right.
DeleteSo very beautiful. Thanks for hosting and I hope that you have a wonderful week.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating too and enjoy your week too.
DeleteLovely mural! The park sounds like it will great!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda, I hope it will be a great park.
DeleteSuch vibrant colours …
ReplyDeleteAll the best Jan
