Flock the Park

Ivanhoe Village is getting a little more colorful, and a lot more fun. We’re launching a playful, community-driven art activation in our Well #3 Pocket Park that invites everyone to slow down, get creative, and leave their mark on the neighborhood.

As you pass by the park, you’ll notice bright pink plastic flamingos waiting to be adopted (temporarily!). Each flamingo is yours to paint, decorate, and personalize… then return to the park to become part of a growing, ever-changing outdoor art display created by the community.

How It Works
1. Swing by the park to pick up a flamingo that has not yet been decorated.
2. Take it home, to your studio, or paint it with friends. Make it bold, weird, artsy, or totally you, but be kind.
3. Write your name (or nickname) on the tag attached to the flamingo so we can credit the artist.
4. Bring your finished flamingo back and place it in the landscape for display (please return by 3/15/2026)
5. Snap a photo to share on social media and with the IVMS Promotions Committee to help spread the fun and show off your work.

Over time, the park will fill with a flock of one-of-a-kind flamingos, each telling a small story about the people who make Ivanhoe Village special. Stop by often; the display will continue to evolve as more flamingos return home.
