Description
Landscaped in the 1860s by Calvert Vaux, this elliptical plaza centers around the historic Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Arch. Behind the monument, the plaza's fountain shoots water high into the air, occasionally spraying passersby when the wind shifts. On weekends, the space transforms into a lively community hub, drawing cyclists, families, and shoppers to a bustling farmers market filled with fresh produce.
