One very cool feature of the park is the artistic brick pattern woven through the walkway. The "Imaginary Garden Promenade" runs from the parking area to near Walnut Street and is a rendition of a bloom on a stem.
Another environmentally-beneficial feature is the use of a Bioretention Area for controlling runoff volume and velocity and for filtering pollutants from stormwater runoff before it is discharged to storm sewers.
