Recently renovated these past few years, it's become a very nice hang out spot. Get pics at the iconic LOVE statue (that was recently moved from LOVE Park), people watch, look at good old Willy P, and have a lunch break at their public tables. During the summertime, they have lunch chairs, water displays from the ground, and fancy pop up soirees. During the wintertime, they set up an ice rink for public skating.
