when i was a small child in the 40sthere was a bandstand / Gazebo in the center surrounded by big oak trees. A hurricane damaged everything in and arround the square. holy reedemer church and the public library on the corner. once all the damaged oak trees were cut down it became a popular softball park. Womens league was very popular and competitive. the main entrance was in the middle of the block on Frenchmen st. Large stone and concrete entrance was really cool.
I'm not sure. I've just always known it as a big green space with a bike path and a small playground
