Description




Framed by a neighborhood church on one side and a post office on the other, this small plaza provides a brief patch of open space to breathe. Benches set beneath the trees offer a place to day-dream, with the park looking particularly charming in the fall. However, because the plaza sits directly between two streets, it is rarely quiet. Visitors should also expect the typical wear of a busy city corner, as the space frequently contends with daily litter and overnight camping.
