| has gloss | eng: Post Office Square (named after the post office which fronted it, now replaced by the John W. McCormack Post Office and Court House) in Boston is almost entirely occupied by a privately-owned and -managed but publicly-accessible park, Norman B. Leventhal Park, (named for the Boston building manager and designer who designed it.) It sits above a parking garage in the heart of the Financial District. This garage, creatively named "The Garage at Post Office Square," lies 80 ft (24 m) below the surface, the deepest point of excavation in the city. Revenues from parking fund the maintenance of the park. The 1.7-acre (6,900 m²) park is a popular lunchtime destination for area workers. It features a cafe, fountains, and a pergola around a central lawn, and the management provides seat cushions for visitors during the summer. |
