The five-acre park, located in the southeast corner of downtown Rochester, was designed to serve people of all ages. The park was built as designed and included a children鈥檚 play area with a wading pool, regulation-size hockey rink which converted to tennis and basketball courts in the warmer months, football field-sized meadow for active play, berm garden, promenade, park drive (Manhattan Square Drive), and sky-lit pedestrian underpass below Chestnut Street. The focal point of the site was a plaza and 2,000-person amphitheater with a restaurant, waterfall fountain, and overhead space frame with an observation tower.

The design is a complex multi-level structure, defined by strong landforms, concrete steps and walls, and angular patterns. At the time of its opening the park was celebrated as Halprin鈥檚 most multi-purpose facility鈥攁dding a 鈥渇orth dimension鈥� 鈥攅xtending upward with a huge space frame. A staircase within the frame provided a unique experience for visitors to engage the design鈥檚 myriad levels and views.
