Legislator James F. Mazzarella (R-3rd District) highlighted the Smith Point Park Tunnel mural project.
“Thanks to the Suffolk County Parks Department and the incredible artists at Splashes of Hope, the tunnels at Smith Point Park are being transformed with stunning aquatic-themed murals, Mazzarella said. “For so many of us, these tunnels hold childhood memories of running through and hearing our voices echo. Now, they’ll become an even more beautiful gateway to our oceanfront and a source of pride for our community for generations to come.”While still a work in progress, the murals will be completed during the offseason so the artists can finish without disrupting beach access.
Splashes of Hope gave the project a shout out on their nationwide social media saying, “This week we kicked off our on-site Smith Point Tunnel project at Smith Point County Park. The final mural will appears as if you’re walking through an under the sea aquarium.”
Updates on the project will be posted throughout September.
Mazzarella offered “a huge thank you to Splashes of Hope for partnering with us to bring this vision to life. We can’t wait to share the finished masterpiece with all of you!”
