Paley Park: Private Public Space Done Right

Thanks to Lionel Lynch of HR&A, an urban planning consulting firm, for his quick response to my Private Public spaces post yesterday, wherein I wondered about the name and location of…Paley Park. (There’s a great summary of the space – follow that link!)
The fine people at the Project for Public Spaces (an organization I adore) describe Paley Park as a “great public space…which proves that in even a small space can serve both a popular meeting ground and a place for relaxation and calm. Slightly elevated from street level, the sidewalk blends with the park allowing for easy access from passer-by. The park’s 20-foot cascading waterfall… creates a backdrop of sound that causes the city noise to fade away.”
Also of note: the wire chairs I described yesterday are not just any old chairs, nope, they are white Bertoia chairs, unfixed. I wonder how often someone tries to pilfer one of those babies.
