Temperatures here dip 5–7 degrees cooler than street level, 1,600 trees and 200,000 plants have been planted, and wildlife like herons and turtles are already returning. Opening June 6, it’s a downtown revival that’s as functional as it is beautiful—proof that cities can heal and thrive. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
