Young people brighten up park with graffiti art inspired by community

The artwork can be found at Seymour Park on Maudsley Street, with vivid colours and hopeful messages.

It comes after areas of the park were damaged in a fire last year.

The design came to life through Friends of Seymour Park’s Graffiti ART competition, held in partnership with Better Together Urban Saints.

The purpose was for young people in the area to create and inspire designs that bring hope to the community in the Seymour Area.

A spokesperson for the Friends of Seymour Park group said: “We had a fantastic response with a variety of designs which have been implemented on the wall.

“It was great to see so many young people and families from diverse backgrounds attend the workshops on the day and really get involved.

“It’s a reflection of our community and a prime example of how arts can be a form of expression for young people to really show their creative side.”

Friends of Seymour Park said it will continue working with the community and other partners to create a park that is more family-friendly, clean, safe, and welcoming.
