Re: Mural Project, Plaza Verde Park
Date: Dec. 8, 2021
I have been involved with Plaza Verde Park since its establishment promoted by the
Mothers of La Casa Verde and its President, Bea Roybal, my mother. I was also part of the
Eastside Commission working on projects for the betterment of the Eastside. Members included
Steve Lucero, Edmond Roybal, Ron Serna, Eva Montoya (past city council rep) and numerous
other Eastside community members. Native Americans have adopted the park and have held
park cleanup projects which included painting amazing indigenous murals on bathroom walls
inside and out and painting and refurbishing playground equipment. I am also President of Las
Comadres who worked with Steve Meier from Parks and Rec creating a Memorial Garden with
bench, and historical marker honoring the Mothers of La Casa Verde for their contribution to
their Lower Eastside Community. The majority of this work has been done by volunteer workers
and inkind contributions.
Of interest now is the renovation, continued improvement and addition of murals at the
park. A process of using a sealant to protect murals from graffiti damage will be included. We
are requesting monetary support from the City of Pueblo in the amount of $2000.
Thank you so much for your continued support in projects that maintain the cultural and
historical significance of the Eastside at Plaza Verde Park.
