Lexington Park

The mural, designed and painted by Ward 5 community members of all ages under the guidance of local artist Tova Speter is a four-panel depiction of the history and the evolution of the park as a Ward 5 community resource. “We came to Alderman O’Donovan two years ago with the concept to bring our neighborhood together with the renovation of the Lexington Park basketball courts,” said Danny McLaughlin of SOS. “Working with Alderman O’Donovan, the city and the entire neighborhood, we created a mural that truly symbolizes the whole community. I’m truly proud of to be a part of this neighborhood.” “The entire neighborhood really rallied around this project and worked together to do something special. This mural celebrates community spirit – and working on it strengthened our ties as a community,” said O’Donovan.
