The design of this urban garden is a collaboration among Paul Kos, conceptual sculptor; Robert Hass, poet; and a landscape architect. The garden features Sierra granite: a 86-ton boulder, smaller boulders and rough blocks at sitting height. A Hass poem is engraved on the garden wall. A fountain drips into a circular basin with a “tok ... tok ... tok” sound evoking the passage of time. The garden opening toward Fremont Street is planted with birch trees. Open at all times. Needed improvements: eye-level signage.
