Description

The park consists of three main zones, a narrow wood chip path with shrubs, an open interior lawn and fountain space and a stone concourse with a lattice covering and cafe tables and chairs. The metal lattice work points from the North End back into the city. unfortunately the view looking back is of a parking garage.

This space seems very popular and gets a lot of foot traffic along the diagonal path that cuts across the lawn. The lawn and fountain are slightly depressed and the concourse raised. The table and chairs can be moved freely as they are not tied down. Mostly they are lined up along the edge of the fountain.

I have observed three basic types of people that use this space. they are the exerciser, the lunch -breaker and the tourist. Each use the sight in different ways, one for walking/running, another to rest and another for pictures.

I have chosen a table to make my observations from that seems to have a clear view of all of these activities.
