Great place to chill in the evenings, listen to music , and do hwk when it's not too hot outside. I found out the sculpture 's name is "Her secret is patience". Good to know!

Besides being a great place to hang out and study, it's also a perfect location for photography . Flocks of pigeons frequent this place, and the lawn can serve as a nice background. Bring your camera !

Brenda Carrasco

The Civic Space Park at night is probably one of the most beautiful views in downtown. The lights on the jellyfish are so pretty to look at and to just enjoy.

The 145-foot-tall aerial sculpture above you is called "Her Secret is Patience." The title comes from a quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who wrote "Adopt the pace of nature; her secret is patience."

Hayden Packwood

The grass is a great place to throw down a blanket and study/relax between classes . Some of the best Downtown food trucks set up right here in the stage area.
