New Freedom Park, located at the edge of Denver and Aurora at 13th and Yosemite, serves a neighborhood that is home to many refugees and recent immigrants. The design for the mural in the park began with a community meeting to gather resident input and visual inspirations from the many countries-of-origin represented in the apartments surrounding the park. Painting of the mural began with two community paint days that brought together youth artists from Colorado High School Charter (CHSC), Arts Street interns, and residents who frequent the park.
