Post Office Square (named after the post office which lay on it, now replaced by the John W. McCormack Post Office and Court House) in Boston, Massachusetts is almost entirely occupied by a privately owned and managed public park named Norman B. Leventhal Park, after the Boston building manager and designer who designed it. It sits above a parking garage in the heart of the Financial District. This garage, named "The Garage at Post Office Square," is at 80 ft below the surface, is the deepest point in the city, and revenues from parking fund the maintenance of the park. The park is a popular lunchtime destination for area workers. It features a cafe, fountains, and a pergola around a central lawn, and provides seat cushions for visitors during the summer. Designed by the landscape architects The Halvorson Company, the park is also home to "125 species of plants."
