A standout feature is the secure, elevated plaza at its center. This plaza not only serves as a communal gathering space but also offers awe-inspiring views of downtown Durham. The plaza, which sits atop the structured parking deck, includes a playground for children, a covered picnic shelter for gatherings, benches for relaxation, grilling stations for outdoor cooking, and a multi-purpose turf area for recreational activities.
