North Park mural celebrates Alex Morgan!

A mural in North Park celebrates San Diego Wave FC hero and international soccer superstar Alex Morgan. It was painted last year by Ground Floor Murals on the parking lot side of Mike Hess Brewing North Park.

Alexandra Morgan Carrasco played in four FIFA Women’s World Cups, was named U.S. Soccer Female Athlete of the Year for 2012, and was awarded the 2022 NWSL Golden Boot as the league’s top scorer while playing for San Diego Wave FC. She was named one of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2019 and 2022.

Alex Morgan was a role model for countless young women in San Diego and around the nation during her outstanding career. She retired in 2024.

I happened to spy this mural for the first time during my walk yesterday.

SAN DIEGO FOREVER

THIRTEEN FOREVER

While walking around the building, I noticed another mural near the entrance to Mike Hess Brewing. It depicts the Georgia Street Bridge, the iconic North Park sign and water tower, and what appears to be a historic streetcar coming down University Avenue!

The fun mural was painted by @inkredibledesign.

San Diego Wave FC Season Kick-Off Rally!

San Diego Wave FC held their 2026 Season kick-off rally this evening in Balboa Park! A bunch of fans came together at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion to root for the team and make great memories!

Activations around the pavilion included unique giveaways, a merchandise station, kids activity station, and numerous photo ops. The San Diego Sirens independent supporters group was present. So was Forever Balboa Park. Upbeat music gave the event a fun, festival vibe.

When the players filed into the pavilion around 5:30, everyone cheered! The players would then pose for photos with fans at the different stations, and even autograph posters and clothing before photos were taken.

I saw many families. Young ladies were particularly excited to see their sports idols.

San Diego Wave FC is celebrating their fifth year. They’ll have their Home Opener in several days at Snapdragon Stadium.

The club made the National Women’s Soccer League playoffs last year. Hopefully in 2026 they’ll have even more success!

Mural honors San Diego player Kyra Carusa.

I discovered this mural yesterday while heading down University Avenue in North Park. It honors past San Diego Wave FC player Kyra Carusa. The artwork is painted on the side of The Original 40 Brewing Company building.

The mural was created by Ground Floor Murals (@groundfloormurals). Their work is always awesome!

Honoring KYRA CARUSA for her community leadership and contributions to women’s soccer – 2025
