It will feature an iconic fountain at the foot of Frederica Street. An outdoor children’s museum and playground includes handicap-accessible overhead ramps inside large artificial trees.The park will span five city blocks and cover over five acres of land. It will also offer outdoor space for events, with concessions and restroom facilities.
