Artful welcome
Committee members, elected officials, residents and City of Wayne staff members gathered last week to cut the ribbon at the new “Welcome to Goudy Park” mural. The artwork was a collaboration with the DIA Partners in Public Art program and the city. The artwork was painted on the exterior north/east facing walls of the city building located in the lower court parking lot entrance to Goudy Park.
The park is located between City Hall, the 29th District Court, and the Rouge River. It adjoins the Goudy Park Amphitheatre.
The park is named in honor of Charles Goudy who was a prominent citizen and official in the former Village of Wayne. In 1911 he was appointed the first DPW superintendent in the city and was integral in the creation of the park.
