I went through here on the way to the baseball park. It was not super dirty but not clean either. And there were a lot on panhandlers which made me feel unsafe.

Grand Circus Park is an interesting place to visit. There are plenty of benches. It is located in a very busy location. It is a true circus as there is circular driving all around the park. The crossings to the other streets are short and well identified. Some of the cars enter the circus a little too fast. Either they aren't used to the small street motion or they are being careless. The park has been neglected for a long time. It is great to see it being put back into use. It's a great place to stop for lunch. Whether you are having takeout or a brown bag lunch. The last time I stopped there they had some example patio furniture around. The pieces looked like something you'd have in your living room, so, I thought it a bit much but its a durn sight better than having the place empty. There is some underground parking there but I'm not sure how it works or if it is still in service. The Opera House is nearby and some great apartment buildings. I am so glad they are being fixed up. Most of them are still empty as people move back around the park I expect to see more people there. Come on by when you're downtown. It's got a great fountain, a giant statue and an obelisk!
