Many raised pedestals were available for seating. Generally these were occupied by folk eating lunch during weekdays. Because this was Sunday, the seating was empty.

The water of the fountain was still because the park was closed. Statues of frogs jumping, by artist Anthony Guzzardo, decorated the fountain.
