South Park is doing a great job building and upgrading its community’s public spaces. This sweet little plaza welcomes people to the neighborhood as they drive over the South Park Bridge.
The brick plaza features deciduous trees, tall grasses and an interesting display on an elevated platform at the center of the space. A large rusted set of gears was from the original South Park Bridge. You can read about how gears handled the enormous job of raising and lowering the 1.6-million-pound drawspans of the old bridge.
Plans are in the works to expand this public space across the street to create a bigger, more engaging outdoor living room for this key corner of South Park.
