Activate The Square
This Spring on the Square
This summer, Better Block SGF is teaming up with community partners to activate the square. This initiative includes a mural painted by the wonderful Meg Wagler, a parklet outside of the Park Central library, the classic seating on the square, and more! More information on programming for the summer is coming soon!
Better Block Brigade- Ongoing
Join the Better Block Brigade and help Better Block SGF keep the chairs and the tables in the Square! This volunteer opportunity will require either setting up or taking down the tables and chairs once a week.

Originally designed by Architect Lawrence Halprin, the Square was intended to be "an active space for public assembly, devoted to pedestrians and their needs and comforts.” Updates and renovations were completed in 2008 to restore the historic public space, however, the space has yet to fulfill it’s intended purpose as the heart of commerce and social gathering hub of downtown.
