Description

This clean, triangular park trades lawns for gravel, bordered on all sides by six lanes of traffic. Within this concrete island, a large red sculpture stands alongside tables, chairs, and shade-giving umbrellas. While the spot comes with inevitable noise and air quality trade-offs, it remains a surprisingly well-kept, free retreat for a quick pause.
