The landscape design is by the Olin Partnership, and features a sprawling, elegant water sculpture by Maya Lin. So, here's my take...A lot of times, you'll hear people say, \"Hey, that's a pretty good place...for Cleveland...\". Nothing annoys me more. Anyway, I've traveled much, seen a fair amount of this country and the world, I've spenting meaningful time in most major cities, and I have this to say: This is one of the best public spaces ANYWHERE. Come here on a summer afternoon, pull one of the moveable chairs into the shade by the fountain, and have a seat. Bring a book, or your lunch, or a friend. It doesn't get any better! The scale, the view, the sounds, the trees... Truly a gem, by a Cleveland standard and by a \"world\" standard."^^ . . "5"^^ . "0"^^ .
