The graffiti-covered park, located at 1012 Baylor Street, is frequented by tourists who take photographs at the graffiti-covered park.
According to the owners of HOPE Outdoor Gallery, it is the only paint park of its kind in the U.S.
The park was created in 2011 to provide artists a canvas to showcase their creativity.
According to the Austin American-Statesman, HOPE Outdoor Gallery is moving to a new, 6-acre spot on Carson Creek Ranch. HOPE Outdoor Gallery said it will announce ways for the public to get involved in its big move in the coming weeks.
