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.
