30 Days, 30 Parks, Day 20




Clyde-Brummel Park, Evanston, IL
When we first moved into this neighborhood, long before children were truly on our radar, I was drawn to this park because of the beautiful multicultural mural that adorns the wall between the park and the el tracks. The original mural incorporated the dreams of individual children in the neighborhood. Last year, the mural was redone to reflect the diversity of the neighborhood, with a banner of flags running throughout it, and the statement "A people without a knowledge of their past, history, and origin of their culture is like a tree without roots".
