Description
The 3.6-acre square centers around the Vaillancourt Fountain, opening up broad walking space along the waterfront. Sightlines from the open plaza reach past the Ferry Building to take in the Bay Bridge with the water in the background, with trees lining the nearby road. The wide layout leaves plenty of room to move around, though crowds swell on weekends.
