cool breeze on a hot summer night
There's always traffic, above ground subways, and construction going on. Not the most peaceful place to take a break but it's probably the only public space in the immediate area. - Mindy
Great place to enjoy a beautiful day. Plenty of benches in a shaded area to enjoy the day without sitting in the sun. - CoCo de Kerr
Awesome views of the city and very peaceful when not many people are around! - Mike
