Two Downtown Parks in my sights..

Btw, tufsu1,  a while back you mentioned that there were plans to turn the pocket park into a sculpture park.  Is this still the plan?

I had heard that the idea was discussed....at least for occasional exhibits at MOCA....but I don't know if any decision was made

The park already has moving sculptures.  One of the most recent works is entitled "Shopping Cart Lady"

How about use the park that is over 100 years old for sculptures (and right outside the front entrance of MOCA?

Everytime I walk or drive by that park I try to be objective and find a shred of beauty.
It is without doubt, THE MOST USELESS AND UGLY PARK IN NORTHEAST FLORIDA. For me it's not about the money, if a quality product had been implemented and built more than a block from an existing, far superior park, I was ok with it. But come on everyone this park is truely HORRIBLE. Who the heck designed it? Maybe they could use it on weekends for a farmer's market or something. It would work ok for that I guess.

I tend to agree. Its like the designed it to be utilitarian, but then forgot to leave open areas so it can be utilized....

As near as I can tell, it was 100% designed to collect homeless people, with all of its comfy ledges, and shade trees.
