Willoughby pedestrian plaza

I last visited Willoughby Plaza in February, when it was a barren space.

In the springtime, it has picked up a lot of energy.

The combination of sun and shade help it so much. (It was between 3 and 4 PM when I took these pictures).

One thing that signals a successful space is when people can share space - even a single table, and yet have a sense of privacy. How many conversations can you pick out in this photo (especially in the table to the far left)?

Willoughby is so successful that the seating has been expanded, now wrapping around the corner.

Look, the tweens will even deign to play in this space.
