A 2.48-acre South End square that opened in 1849, enclosed by an iron fence with entrances at each corner plus one on Newton Street, lined with Sugar Maple and Silver Linden trees around a central lawn. It pairs historically with Blackstone Square across Washington Street but functions as a quieter, leash-walk-only green space.
