My daughter loves the new playground but overall they completely removed what made the Gardens cool back in the day.

It was a pond with hanging gardens in the summertime and it froze in the winter since the ceiling was open to the outdoors with just some mesh. Some of my earliest pictures are as a kid skating there. That area was kind of my refuge from the bustle when I first started working downtown.
I can't believe they replaced all this with such a stale mall-like thing. Also I think this area is part of Simons now.
Now it's all tiles and feels like a barebones shopping mall with trees in round planters.
