The mural, designed by Dallas-based portrait artist Carl Hess, was approved and commissioned by the Glenn Heights City Council on October 6, 2020.  The three-sided mural was designed on the sides of the park concessions and restroom facility and depicts portrait images of 16 recognizable, slain black and brown victims aligned with the Black Lives Matter movement.  The mural also features a large, heart-shaped word cloud and an immersive protest image that helps to depict the social dynamics that have defined the last decade.
