CoventrYard Park

CoventrYard Park
A minipark fronting CoventrYard was added by Zipkin in his second design. The developer estimated the cost of the public space at $15,000. This design element may have been a reaction to a common criticism he received following the construction of the first Coventryard - that his building was built for outsiders, not the community. Just as Zipkin's park immediately drew the ire of boutique shop owners concerned about loiterers, the park is still a controversial and important space in Coventry today. | Source: Cleveland State University Library Special Collections
