Mostly a concrete square surrounded by some trees and landscaping (planters), the square features a small performance stage and a man-made waterfall at the front entrance cascades down a series of concrete steps to a reflecting pool. The pool is used as a skating rink in winter and a wading pool during the summer. Change rooms are located next to the rink.

A medal bell tower is located next to the rink/pool has two speakers installed to broadcast music or messages.

A number of events are held in the square, mostly in the summer months, including a farmer's market from mid-June to mid-October.
