The Getaway
Blackhawk Park - Rockford, Illinois
"The Getaway at Blackhawk Park is an iconic park here in town. It's known for pick-up games. It's known for gatherings, family reunions and things of that sort. We want to do our best to shine a light on what a great park and what a great asset it is. What a great neighborhood this is." - Nick Povalitis
The Getaway mural was designed and painted to represent the past and future coming together.

“…that's the point of all of this right, is to activate parks and communities and make people excited to be playing basketball and looking at cool art…. a lot of energy is being invested in this from all places. We're just trying to excite the community to come out here." - Frannie Hemmelgarn
