| - It's imperative that I give this plaza five stars. I have been happily coming here since before I even knew where I was. My parents used to take me to splash in the water fountain and roll down the grassy hills while listening to Sunday afternoon concerts here. I went on picnic dates with my boyfriend here. I was proposed to here. I had my wedding pictures here. I've been to countless festivals here. Okay, you get it.
If the weather is nice, there's no event going on, and it's a weekend, expect there to be at least fifteen photographers leading newly engaged couples, families, wedding entourages, and gussied up pregnant ladies through all your favorite Civic Center spots. Last weekend, I had to wait for three photographers to slowly make their way through my favorite fountain before I finally got the opportunity to splash around like an obviously full grown adult. Don't you judge me.
The grass is always green and so perfect for relaxing in and staring at the clouds. Or go sit under a tree and do some people watching, my favorite pastime! And when you're done relaxing, go get a beer on the patio of Old Town Tavern or a margarita at Distrito and do some more people watching. Oh wait, that's still relaxing. Maybe go get a book from the Civic Center library? Hey, that's still relaxing! Shoot. Go for a walk on the bridge over the pond with all the swans and stress about how you wish you brought your dog because bringing your dog here is awesome. Yeah, do that one.
