The mural’ s theme is“ A City for all People” and showcases four multicultural children playing soccer, basketball, baseball and football, and enjoying the park amenities. On either side of the children are depictions of a mother and grandmother watching from the sidelines and an elderly man basking in the sun on a park bench. The colorful background, inspired by Seminole Patchwork, is a stylized sunset honoring the Native American people who settled in Florida in the 18th century. The word“ community” dramatically overlays the vibrant 81-foot-tall section of the mural.
