“Wavves” by JD Deardourff transforms the Mount Vernon Trail entrance at Water Park
Spanning 245 linear feet and ranging from one to 14 feet in height, the newly unveiled mural "Wavves" by artist JD Deardourff has brought a splash of color and joy to National Landing.
Sponsored by the National Landing Business Improvement District, the expansive mural enlivens the area, adorning the southern and western facing walls at the entrance to the Mount Vernon Trail, near Water Park on Crystal Drive.
The mural extends a warm welcome to residents, workers and visitors, transforming one of National Landing’s most prominent centers into a vibrant gateway connecting bikers and pedestrians to nature and the regional trail system.
