Graffiti Park, also known as Hope Outdoor Gallery, is located at 1100 Baylor Street, Austin Texas. It lives up to Austin’s motto, ‘Keep Austin Weird’. The ever-changing concrete walls of this graffiti gallery overwhelm you with modern art. Sure, you’ll find a random tag here and there, but this place has vividly detailed graffiti, from a Pikachu to a gangster giraffe.
It’s not much of a park (more like an abandoned yard), but it has space and a lovely view of a castle-looking building behind it. The park is apparently a public space that is open to any and all graffiti artists who want to make their mark on Austin, and it is a safe haven for them to create without the threat of the law.
As you browse all of the graffiti, you kind of feel like you’re being swallowed whole by the extremeness of the variety of colors and masterpieces on the walls.
This is my favorite place in Austin, mostly because I’m artsy, and have a thing for graffiti.
