A formal 1855 South End square with a sea-themed fountain at its center, mature shade trees, and looping paths, paired historically with Franklin Square across Washington Street. It reads as a quiet residential green rather than a destination park, and dog owners informally use it for off-leash time despite the citywide leash rule.
