Swim Philly: McVeigh Pool

This mural by Calo Rosa is located at the McVeigh Pool in the Kensington neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It was completed with the assistance of the Restorative Justice Rec Crew.

This project is part of the Anti-Violence Community Expansion Grant from the City of Philadelphia. Mural Arts Philadelphia has partnered with the Philadelphia Parks & Recreation to create a Rec Crew of Mural Arts Guild of the Restorative Justice Program alumni who are helping to transform recreation centers in zip codes heavily impacted by violence. The Rec Crew uses paint to create a welcoming interiors for Rec Centers that have an outdated look to freshen up and modernize them. Some rec centers have had existing murals restored, and others have received new murals altogether. The Rec Crew works with the Rec Leader and surrounding community to provide a space everyone can use and enjoy.
