DESCRIPTION
The Heiner-Metzger Plaza sits at the corner of two streets as the other two sides are bordered by the public library and commercial buildings. The plaza incorporates an area for child play that includes a climbing wall and a fußball table. There are various types of seating from benches, blocks and a seatwall that doubles as a skate wall. A water feature that sits at the corner of the adjoining streets acts as a gateway and a noise reducing feature. The water feature turns on and off on timed intervals and has a sensor that will shut the feature down during high wind conditions. The seating blocks in the water feature have designs etched into them that were made in conjunction with local school children during a community workshop.
