Come see the sculpture honoring the physicist and austronaut Dr. Ronald McNair, who died in the aboard the Challenger space shuttle when it exploded in 1986.
The sculpture in the middle of the park looks like a sun dial. The reflection of the sculpture , may be a coincidence pointed to the right time assuming the floor was a clock.
Beautiful place to sit on a nice summer day.
Every Saturday there is an Artisan Market from 10a to 6pm. Lots of great crafts and clothing/jewelry from local designers
