Description
This colourful community mural wraps around the public amenities block at Henleys Hill Park, Cairns, bringing joy to both kids and dog lovers alike.
The walls are alive with playful words like “Run,” “Jump,” and “Play”, surrounded by bold paw prints, tennis balls, bones, and sports balls, encouraging everyone to get active and have fun.
Cheerful cartoon-style dogs star across the artwork:
A smiling pup in a red bandana carrying a stick, symbolising playtime.
A cool dog in green sunglasses with its tongue out, full of cheeky personality.
A friendly bow-wearing puppy, adding a touch of cuteness.
Alongside them, paw prints, bright colours, and comic-style words like “Bow Wow,” “Woof,” and “Yip” create an upbeat, family-friendly atmosphere.
Painted in vibrant shades of blue, yellow, green, purple, and red, the mural celebrates movement, energy, and community connection.
The piece is proudly signed CRC, YUAP, WAL, MINT, Local Kids, showing collaboration between Cairns Regional Council, local youth art programs, and the wider community.
