Ralph Brooks Park

Ralph Brooks Park

MTWB’s first project was at RBP. The redevelopment included a new basketball court with bleachers, tot lot, and pedestrian access points. RBP features murals by Stephen “ESPO” Powers through the Mural Arts Program. The project was inspired by the community to promote athletics, safety, health, and the arts. It continues to serve as a catalyst for neighborhood renewal & inter-generational engagement.
