Peace in the Park, Vol 2

Projectivity and Thrive Collective returned to Rev. Dr. Maggie Howard Park in Staten Island’s Stapleton neighborhood to complete the “Peace in the Park” mural this spring. The “United Against Violence” mural, designed and executed by students from PS 78, welcomes all from the parking lot entrance to the playground.

The extreme mural makeover covers more than 200 feet of wall the park shares with PS 78. The mural project was a community response to several violent crimes in 2023, including the elementary school’s window being struck by gunfire, and the fatal shooting of Jamoure Harrell, a 13-year-old killed while playing basketball in the playground in May.

The Staten Island Advance reported on the project here.
