Public Art

Artist: Jermaine Powell

Completed: September 2018

In addition to supplementing the diversity of the City’s growing public art collection and supporting the facilities available at City parks, the Neighborhood Park Mural Project aims to engage local artists in the creation of murals that celebrate the culture and history of Durham’s neighborhoods. Jermaine Powell is a Fuquay-Varina based visual artist who draws inspiration from the desire to craft beautiful environments in which his son can grow and play. Powell is committed to creating art that will be functional aspect within the community and a vision of positive development; he seeks to “wow” visitors to Garret Road Park with his installation on the newly renovated bathroom facility. 

Park History

Garrett Road runs across a long stretch of southwestern Durham, between this park at the road's intersection with Hope Valley Road, to its intersection with Pickett Road. It was named after Ernest Garrett Sr., who established his house and farm in 1927.
