Silver City, NM

The Story:

Silver City has a grand scheme for their park that will eventually include a playground, an amphitheater, a children’s museum, a skateboard park, and a teen center.

The first phase of their project (Spring 1999) completed their playground, which included special features made with concrete, adobe, and stone. Graffiti artist Alex “Man One” Poli worked with the teens to create graffiti art.

Phase II (Spring 2000) saw the creation of a huge amphitheater and preliminary walls for restrooms, changing rooms, and a sound room for stage equipment.

Their next venture will be a teen center and a children's museum.
