A wide staircase led up from Market Street to a privately owned public space at the back of 100 First Street, San Francisco, California. An elevator found inside 100 First Street, provided access for the disabled, encumbered and elderly.

The Transbay center towered over the park. Its lace-like surface provided a comforting background. Trees grew in large, concrete containers.

Tables and chairs were spread around the park and provided a nice place to relax and eat lunch.

A fountain located in the back corner of the park provided a bit of white noise from splashing water. That fountain diminished the noise from the surrounding city.

The inside of the fountain was composed of curved pieces of glass. The waterfall at the back of the fountain was just visible through curved, frosted glass.

Small, round, metal tables provided eating surfaces. Metal chairs provided seating next to garbage cans, in an area that overlooked the buildings of Market Street.

A wood surfaced coffee table was surrounded on three sides by wood surfaced benches. The fourth side for seating was a concrete and grass ledge.

Mature trees provided shade for those infrequent, overly warm days in the city. Plants decorated raised beds around the trees.

The elevated, privately owned, publicly accessible park was unexpectedly large.

On those days when the park was extremely crowded, fake grass provided extra seating areas.

Plants were on display everywhere in this park. In March, none were flowering yet. The slotted box to the left of the image was a light. Many of those lights dotted the area and provided illumination after darkness fell.
