Public Square is rather...public. It's a bustle of cars and buses mostly. It's a central location (central by force, western by geography) where you can get buses, trains and the Healthline - all of which terminate here. I'm not really sure what aspects or rubric this review/rating should be based on. The mayor of Cleveland has indicated his low rating of the space with his comments on desiring change for the area (perhaps closing it to traffic). Occasionally the square is closed to traffic - for the holiday tree lighting or the 4th July orchestra concert to name a couple examples. The area, more rectangular in shape actually, has improved with the opening of the casino - if you count improvement as having more occupied doors along the square. I wouldn't really call it a park and it is far from a peaceful place to relax, but it is a busy and 'central' and overall safe area of town. It is the space over which the streets change in number from E to W. It is home to several good restaurants and is the space that must be crossed to walk from the increasingly popular E4th Street to the decreasingly popular Warehouse District. If you are looking for a park to eat your lunch in or some similiar activity I suppose you could sit on the edge of a cement planter - or you might try the newly created area in the NineTwelve District (formerly the Financial District) called Perk Plaza at Chester and E 12th Street.
