This is a beautiful addition to the city. The views of the river, courthouse, and Market street bridge are spectacular. The biggest thing lacking in this are is outdoor spaces and trees so we are lucky to have this. Ive only been here during the day or the evening concerts in the summer but it seems like a fairly safe area. There is a police presence during events. Not so much during normal times but there are typically enough other people nearby to feel safe. A few more seating areas, garbage cans, and perhaps some drinking fountains and restrooms along the paths would greatly improve the usefulness of the commons but I understand the lack of amenities to be a result of the areas over the top heroin problem. Overall I would recommend this area to anyone looking for some fresh air and or greenery!

This place is nice for a walk, a jog, a bike ride, or just a sit-down. The paved trail and the seating areas are kept clean and well groomed. There is lighting to the area safe at night.They do have limited activities here but could do more with the space.

This is a nice public park that is generally well maintained. The grass is very nice and there are many beautiful views overlooking the river. While on jury duty at the nearby courthouse I spent a very nice lunch break here.

Nice little running, dog walking or cycling park. Lots of paved paths, great views and plenty of benches and trees. The do have dog poo bag dispensers and trashcans. Its generally pretty clean but you sometimes see lots of bird droppings.There are no bathrooms on this side of the river. You either cross to Kirby or go downtown. There is no kids playground equipment. Parking is either on the street or across the river. For what it is, its nice enough.
