Washington Square is just outside Society Hill. Its a good size park with many benches, greenery, and a memorial for the unknown soldiers who died in Washington's Army during the Revolutionary War.
Jacob's remarked that this park "became Philadelphia's pervert park" (92) and that eventually it was redesigned. Currently, the park gets a good amount of use. As Jacobs said, many people come out on there lunch breaks when its nice out. However, it seems that the surroundings have begun to add value to the area. Not only are there just banks and insurance companies like there were 50 years ago. Now there are small shops, restaurants, apartments, that make people come to the area regularly.
