Green Dome Garden is anything but common - the plant combinations are unusual and of high quality. Small in size (2500 sq. ft) the garden provides a 'big' experience thanks to its creative use of topography, plantings and beautiful masonry.

In order for a public space to be great - you must have access.

Green Dome garden is especially popular with people who use McCarren Park regularly; There are several benches, the most prized being a beautifully crafted dome shaped bench. Overtime the paths have been paved with Belgium blocks to improve access for the elderly, baby carriages and wheelchairs. Alternatively some areas have stepping stone paths which are accessible only by foot.  (source: http://www.pps.org/great_public_spaces/one?public_place_id=348)
