The eight sided gazebo sits in the center of the square surrounded by a circle of green lawn. It is raised about a foot and a half off the ground by bricks and has a cement floor. Four of the sides are open, the remaining four have metal rails between the wood posts. There is a sidewalk from the parking to the gazebo for each of the four entrances.
