Concrete walkways cross the greenspace dotted with mature deciduous trees, many of which may be remnants of the Hare & Hare plan for Watson Library. The vaguely rectangular open space is bordered by Jayhawk Boulevard on the north, Fraser Hall on the east, Watson Library on the south, and Sunflower Road on the west. The openness of the space, and views across it, extend west to Fowler Grove. This site retains integrity.
The historic open space and gathering/ circulatory function of the site contributes to the character of the District.
