The main public square of downtown Sacramento, a green block bounded by J, K, 9th, and 10th streets, directly across from City Hall. The William Coleman Memorial Fountain, a bronze sculpture by Ralph Stackpole, anchors the centre. The plaza fills with food trucks at lunchtime on weekdays and hosts the Downtown Sacramento Farmers Market on Sundays.
It is a pleasant place to sit and watch Sacramento go about its business — government workers, lobbyists, protesters, skateboarders, and farmers market shoppers coexist in a democratic informality. The surrounding blocks include the mid-century City Hall and several handsome 19th-century commercial buildings.
