    This is a park that is privately owned but for public use. The walls were funded and erected mostly by the land owner and with some public donations and contribution as well. There is a porta potty but please be respectful and dont tag it or mess it up since its kindly paid for by the park owner and its the only one on site. There is no dumpster or cleanup crew(that costs money and this isnt publicly funded) so please be respectful and carry out any cans or trash that you bring in. Yes, there are trash bags on site but those have to be hauled out by the land owner and thats a lot of work for one man who has alreqdy given so much to the community. The graffiti walls are available for public use but please be respectful and mindful of the art that is there. Some of the art on the back wall is from artists who are no longer with us and if youre unaware please ask someone before painting anything. There is pretty much always someone here painting especially on nicer days. Dogs are allowed but please cleanup after them and be aware that there is a large pack of wild coyotes living in the direct vicinity. You can hear them howl back at the sirens. This is a safe space for artists to have fun and paint. Enjoy it and keep it nice for everyone.

    This is a really cool little park. It's privately owned but open for people to come in and hang out. Please leave nothing but footprints and take nothing but photos. If you see people there, introduce yourself. Anyone hanging out there will probably wonder who you are. It's kind of an art park and occasionally you may see a cool party. The owner is always cleaning and improving the property so if you see people out there working, feel free to stop and see if you can lend a hand every little bit helps. Have fun and be careful.

    Some that enter do not come back.... Supposedly the park is haunted and is said to contain a portal to another dimension.

    Great place. I once saw a naked man go past on a train. Seems like a good crowd.

    I recently fell on hard times and had to leave a suitcase in the area. Not on the Humboldt Forest property but, nearby. It's been taken, with nothing else nearby disturbed. If you have it and you're reading this, you know it's really just a homeless man's stuff. No judgement for taking it, without so much as a phone number on it, someone else would have. Please respond to this message if you have it, thanks for your time. Five stars because why not.
