The fountain is fine. The flags are a nice touch. Love the Starbucks. That isn't much considering everything that's wrong with it. Want to love it, but can't. Anyway, just my opinion.

Frankly, for an urban park, trees are more important than grass. I normally avoid comparisons with other cities, but I'll provide New York as an example. Most of Manhattan’s parks that are widely used have minimal grass, but lots of trees. Urban parks also work well when they have plenty of patio and seating areas. They should serve as gathering spots for people on their way from one place to the other. Gathering spots are more important than lawns.
