2/12 38th Avenue Neighborhood Park Hyattsville

Without the art on this outdoor gym, it can be hard for me to tell how to use the equipment. Plus it’s artistically designed.

2/12/24 At Calvert-Wood Liquor Store.  The mural says, “Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much. – Helen Keller.”  But the words are formed into a design, with little human figures between them.

Adrevil, yes it would definitely be considered public art! Pretty cool find! If you want it to count in the game, you’ll need to add the #publicartfinder hashtag to your Strava ride title.
