Exactly this. There is usefulness in it and the city already has a plan for it. Many people in the city are social and we all know how many people like to be outside when it's nice out. There are already a few proven plazas in town that absolutely fill up with people when it's nice out every day, and 99% of them are not homeless people.
Another one that could be great is Polish Triangle, especially if more housing was developed around there (the one new high rise there is a start). If you put out some chairs and tables, I guarantee people would start to fill it up when it's nice out.
