The park is designed around a large metal sculpture with hanging plants. The design is intended to evoke a ship's prow, a plow, and a tri-cornered hat. The hanging garden suggests the Victorian-era trellised gardens that once existed in Old Town and represented the street grid originally laid out by George Washington.
