If the idea was to create an environment within a cityscape to lead to talk, reflection and relaxation I think this park nails it. There are a number of plaques and statues that reminds everyone of what the reconciliation should be about. However the landscape, the seating and the open space certainly leads to one having meaningful conversations with others or just taking the time for thought and reflection"
