Fountain Plaza

At the heart of the park is the impressive civic plaza, welcoming visitors from all directions and offering nearly half an acre of community gathering space. Benches and café tables provide everyday seating. From atop the grand stair visitors are treated to sweeping views of Gipson Play Plaza and the Raleigh skyline beyond. The steps themselves create amphitheater-like seating for the plaza, providing the perfect setting for events or performances. ADA paths are to either side of the staircase.
