Texas' first ever street art park comes to East Side, highlighting local art and culture!

San Antonio Parks and Recreation, alongside the San Antonio Street Art Initiative, announced the creation of Texas' first-ever street art park at Healy Murphy Park on the East Side. The park features a breakdancing pad with a mosaic designed by J Muzacz and crafted by over 100 community members, San Antonio's first street-art basketball court, and the "Dream Walls"—ten concrete walls that will be painted by 10 local artists during the Oct. 4 opening ceremony. The walls will be repainted annually during LOGIT to keep the park evolving.

This project matters because it establishes a permanent, community-driven public art space in a historically underserved area, providing local artists with ongoing career-building opportunities and creative exchange. By centering street art, breakdancing, and community participation, the park celebrates East Side culture while creating a living, ever-changing destination that can attract visitors and foster local pride.
