Petrie Park Mural Painting Event 3

Oct 16, 2024 | Active Richmond, Educate Richmond, Healthy Richmond, Heritage Richmond, RR&BA

We had a great morning and afternoon at our third community mural painting session. Kids, families, and individuals came along to have a go and we made some great progress on all of the remaining mural panels.
 
The weather was warm and sunny at Petrie Park this time–so sunny some people had to pull their hoods up or move the panels around. After mixing the paint again, they could choose which panel they wanted to work on. We brought out the last few empty panels to be painted. There were colourful backgrounds to paint, detailed portions, and the more-tricky dogs of Petrie Park. We asked the users of Petrie Park to submit photos so that their dogs could be featured on the mural, as it’s a popular area with dogs. And we received over 20 photos of their dogs!
 
We’re working to convert the empty former Christchurch Richmond M.S.A. Bowling Club ground (demolished post-quake) into a beautiful, welcoming community park. Our next community painting session will be on 16 November. Check here for the date of the next event and come along!
 
Thank you to Bridget Allen for the amazing mural design and all of your hard work. Thank you to Hayley Guglietta who not only was the visionary years ago, but has applied for all funding and is the committee member behind this project.
 
We hope to see you at the next session!
