A colourful mural was recently revealed on the site of a changing room block celebrating the year in the life of Burton Road Jubilee Park in Carlton.
The new mural was painted by the Handmade Theatre Company, The Friends of Burton Road Park and young people from the Loco Youth Centre, Netherfield.
The design represents day and night, the four seasons, and has a huge clock face as the centre feature surrounded by silhouettes of park users.
Park supporter Peter Wood was one of the people involved in creating the mural.
He said: “The idea behind the mural is to capture the year-long happenings in the park.
“There is a large clock that depicts time and the changing of the four seasons .
Fifty-per-cent of the mural is also dedicated to the environmental aspects of the park like the trees, leaves and wild flowers like the rare, beautiful Fritillaries.
“The other part of the mural is dedicated to the sporting aspects of the park, like the cricket matches which really make such a visual impression on the park – especially to those in the thousands of cars pass by and dog walkers.
“There is a nod to other activities such as the park’s excellent skateboarding facility.”
“We’re really proud of it.”
Ugly, the word graffiti comes to mind had it been anyone else’s handy work.
