Mural Project
The McDuffie-Twin Park Neighborhood Association dreamed of murals on the south walls of Constitution Avenue from east of Carlisle to Avenida Manana. The hope was to create a corridor of color and whimsy for the enjoyment of all driving, biking or walking by these walls. We hoped to provoke a smile and a sense of place. (As well as replace a patchwork of paint splotches over tagged/graffitied areas and maybe slow down traffic!)In the Spring of 2024 we contacted neighbors whose walls would be painted for their participation, announced a theme for submissions for mural ideas, and started fundraising for the project.
This project has only been possible thanks to the generosity of you, neighbors! Please HELP us finish the last few remaining walls. Donate via Venmo link above or mail a check (see address in Membership). Please indicate on your Venmo or check memo that the funds are meant for murals!

SUPPORT OUR NEIGHBORHOOD
The McDuffie-Twin Park Board of Directors is a volunteer service by your neighbors who work hard to support and grow the “neighborhood feeling” through the many sponsored events. While all the events serve to bring together neighbors, many residents do not know about the costs to sponsor these events. Our operating budget is small and we really rely on your support to keep doing the “get togethers” that help enrich our neighborhood.For those inclined, think about either donating to a specific event or just sending a donation to be used where most needed. You can specify an event or project when you donate. No donation is too small or too large. All the monies will be used to keep our efforts moving forward.Thank you for your generosity in helping support the McDuffie Twin Park Neighborhood Association!!To make a donation, you can use Venmo (link below)
