Climbing one of the play structures or otherwise exploring the Louis A. DePasquale Universal Design Playground at Danehy Park, you’ll spot pictures by Dominic Killiany, a prolific 24-year-old artist living with autism. Panels throughout the park reproduce his brightly colored paintings of Boston’s Zakim Bridge, street signs, fish, a lion, zebra, elephant and giraffes.
