Description

This bit of serenity lies smack in the middle of the mad business and shopping district downtown. The square provides a lunchtime refuge for harried office workers who sometimes forget what peaceful repose is like. There are trees, places to sit, and a waterfall offering tranquil beauty. It is situated right outside of the Christ Church Cathedral. Take time to go inside and visit this impressive 110-year-old church.
