Pack Square Park

Pack Square Park is the new, improved public urban gathering place for the citizens of Asheville located in front of City Hall and the County Courthouse. The land for this park was donated in 1901 and construction for this vision was begun in 2005. Construction is still underway but this section is now complete and is a welcome addition to Asheville. For more information on the history of Pack square see http://www.packsquarepark.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=24&Itemid=38

A close-up view of the tilework on the wall; notice the tiles in the pavement also.
