The Beautification Of St. Andrews Playground

andrew0820.jpg

Playtime is becoming a little more colorful for children in Brooklyn. One local artist has donated her time to turn a dingy brick wall of St. Andrew's Playground, into a brilliant new mural.

Whether they're on the swings or the slide, playing basketball or baseball or just cooling off by the sprinkler, children at St. Andrew's playground have a colorful new backdrop. The best part about the new facelift lead by artist Halima Cassells -- the kids pitched in to add their own creative touch. Lisa Mateo also joined in and helped with the big makeover. The complete mural will officially be unveiled later this afternoon.

Special thanks to Brooklyn Weinstein Paint and Home Center for donating 15 gallons of paint to make the wall what it is today.
