Esther Short Park - Vancouver, Washington
City Vistas

      
Perhaps the most
      intriguing aspect of the renovated open space are the new vistas
      from the heart of the park. Several vistas point to the new clock
      tower and Glockenspiel (above, right), while others lead to the
      new community that is springing up around the park, or internal
      features like the bandstand and nearby pioneer sculpture. In
      this way, the park is much like a square main street, bringing
      new life and culture to a forgotten area of downtown, and thus
      helping enliven the rest of Vancouver's historic downtown in
      the process.
