In the late 1980s, just as the crack-cocaine epidemic gained momentum urban areas including New York City, artist Keith Haring stumbled across a very reasonable way to spread an anti-drug message to the demographic that needed it most: Why not paint a playground?
The Crack Is Wack mural was erected by Keith Haring in 1986 during a time when drugs and poverty plagued the local community. Painted on the wall of the park’s handball court, the artwork continues to be maintained by the Keith Haring Foundation and was restored in 2019.
