Discussion: Walker Park Mural Presentation Edmonston introduced Jo Ann Kaminsky and Caleb Quinn, School -Within -A - School, to PRAB. Lisa Netherland, Parks and Recreation Horticulturist, explained how this project began. She noticed the need for some improvements at the Walker Park Handball Court, in addition to adding more art in the parks. Netherland presented the project to School -Within -A -School and they agreed to partner on this project. The students guided by instructor Ms. Kaminsky interviewed several people in South Fayetteville to gather information about the history of the area and visited several area landmarks. The funds requested will help purchase primer, paint, supplies and a special anti -graffiti coating. Quinn explained the coating has a smooth finish to allow for pressure washing. Many volunteers will be welcome to participate in this project. The intention is for this to be a community involvement project. The School -Within -A -School would like to complete the project by late October to mid November. The project will be started as soon as the prep work is completed on the Handball Court.
