Working with WPCA, and Urban Forest Tribe, Hells Gibson has designed a new mural for the external walls of Whittington Park Community Centre’s Early Years Hub. The building sits in the centre of Whittington Park, opposite the busy AstroTurf pitch and next to the children’s playground, making it an integral part of the park. For years, this building has catered to the children and community of Islington.

The mural will be an educational and interactive wall for users of the park, designed especially with children in mind. The design intertwines flora, fauna and fungi found in Whittington Park and the legend of Dick Whittington’s rat-catching Cat. On each section of the wall, a flower or plant that can be found in the park will be painted, with a small educational text description from Urban Forest Tribe*. Cats will chase rat shapes in and out of the flowers to help children and viewers “follow Dick Whittington’s cat through the mural”. Text will be in the Whittington Park Community Association’s signature white with orange shadow to tie in with the hall and bring the spaces together.

The proposed mural for Whittington Park sounds like a wonderful addition that will enrich the space for visitors of all ages, especially children. By intertwining local flora, fauna, and the playful legend of Dick Whittington’s cat, the design promises to be both educational and engaging. The interactive element—encouraging children to follow the cat and rats through the mural—is a creative way to spark curiosity and connection with nature.

The mural by Hells Gibson is such a beautiful addition to the Early Years Hub and it's wonderful to see art being used to inspire and uplift the community. It’s a reminder of how powerful visual elements can be in communicating a message and connecting with people. This idea is also evident in how a business marketing assignment service approaches marketing strategies using creativity and thoughtful design to capture attention and engage audiences. Whether it's through art or marketing the ability to create something that resonates with people is truly impactful.
