Shissler Recreation Center continued the path of rooting conservation in Fishtown. Its ball field changed from dirt and cinders to lush green grass. The stormwater streetscapes opened more green space. It inspired the community to add some artful design along Blair Street.
The art, in the form of two murals, represents "Impressions of the Delaware" and the flow of the water. Thousands of tiles were used to create this mural. Some tiles have printed words related to water and the names of known and unknown creeks. It's something to explore and fun for kids to find.
The painted mural covers the full length of the parking lot wall continuing the flow of water.
Attractive large glass tiles highlight this mural. Let the flow inspire the community.
