The sign, identifying this park, referred to it as, "Public Open Space, Urban Park." The hours for the park were "8:00 am to 8:00 pm, Monday-Friday." which meant this park was closed on weekends.

A closer view of one of several benches. Notice the raised bars on its sitting surface. Those raised bars prevented the unhoused from sleeping on the benches.
