Two welded art display boxes placed in Sam Houston and El Alamo parks
Staff reported on June 9, 2026 that the art pads had been relocated to Sam Houston Park and El Alamo Park. The 10-foot-tall, 1,000-pound welded steel display boxes, with solar lighting and plexiglass panels, were built by a local welding class and Parks maintenance staff in 2025 and shown at the Hoodoo Mural Festival. In December 2025 staff said Raela Ornelas' design would go to El Alamo Park and Mike Lafleur's to Sam Houston Park. A Sam Houston Park ribbon cutting was held before August 11, 2026, and one at El Alamo Park was scheduled for September 16, 2026.[1][2][3][4][5]
