During the spring, summer and early autumn months, Market Oval’s 7,000 square foot skating rink will be transformed into a tree-lined, spacious plaza with seating areas, water features, and bronze elephant statues whose trunks are sprinklers around which children can play. The multi-functional space also will serve as a location for concerts, children’s festivities, street fairs, and other events. Movable aluminum patio furniture with umbrellas scattered about this space will allow users to take a break from shopping on River Drive to read, eat lunch, or otherwise enjoy the outdoors. |
