WAY PARK

CLIENT

Friends of Way Park is a group of neighbors in Northfield, Minnesota, working together on issues related to the restoration and care of this historic parkland. The mission of Friends of Way Park is to honor the Way family gift of 1933 by preserving this community parkland for present and future generations.

PROBLEM

Friends of Way Park wanted to spruce up the area to encourage families' attendance. A mural design competition was issued with the prompt, "A Park For All Seasons."

SOLUTION

“Park People” was the winner of a design competition for the Way Park warming house mural. Each of the four sides represents a different season and displays activities that may be seen in the park during those times. Bold, rich colors dominate the space with dynamic silhouettes are broken up by the color planes.
