Description
Surrounded by tall buildings and clanky elevated trains, the park serves as a commuter pit stop. A tree canopy succeeds at shielding you from urban sights, though the train noise still gets through. The space features wetlands, but it has recently fallen into disrepair since its corporate adoption program ended. Visitors now encounter broken benches and overflowing trash, with the plants either overgrown or struggling to survive.
