Plugged in the address to my GPS and had no difficulty finding the fork. If you are heading east on Gore Road the fork will be on your left. There are some spots before the fork where the shoulder is wide enough to pull off.

The murals weren't painted on existing walls; the walls were built in 2017 in the park to hold the new murals (perhaps printed to vinyl?).
