Mural Dedication

You're invited! City of Reno is hosting a Mural Dedication at Teglia's Paradise Park Activity Center Friday, October 13 at 1 PM!

The artist behind the new mural, Miles Toland, will be joining us. You might remember Miles from the public engagements he did earlier this year to generate the content of the mural.

Come celebrate public art in Reno by enjoying a paleta in the sun and trying to guess who is who in the mural!

The Reno Arts & Culture Commission selected regional artist Miles Toland to design and create a large-scale mural on the exterior of the activity center at Teglia’s Paradise Park. This project will add vibrancy to the building and surrounding area and reflect the character of the neighborhood. 

The mural is painted on the exterior south wall and west walls of the activity center. 

Teglia’s Paradise Park is Reno’s second largest park with 38.39 acres of open space, retention ponds, community garden, play areas, newly installed futsal courses, walking trails and an activity center. Located in Northeast Reno just off Oddie Boulevard, and built in 1986, Teglia’s Paradise Park Activity Center features a kitchen and a large multi-purpose room for a variety of recreation activities. The Activity Center is programmed with a variety of classes and activities throughout the year for all ages.

The Activity Center is located adjacent to Bernice Mathews Elementary School, a Title I school. The surrounding community is diverse and predominantly Spanish-speaking and visitors will find multiethnic businesses, restaurants, and activities.

Community Engagement

Join the artist and City staff for a proactive discussion on the design of the mural. This session will be a chance to hear from the artist and have a conversation about what the community would like to see in the artwork.

When: Tuesday, May 2, 2023 from 5:30 to 6:30 PM

Where: Teglia's Paradise Park Activity Center, 2745 Elementary Drive, Reno, NV 89512
