Named after the initial plan they had to build a Roman-style coliseum which never came to fruition, Coliseum Square is a three-acre park that has proven to be a fun outdoor space for the entire family.

The square is a part of the Lower Garden District, which in 1972 was added on to the National Register of Historic Places. Within the square, you will see paved walking paths, a fish pond, benches, night lighting, and oak and China trees. Be sure to spend time exploring the surrounding district which houses a number of restaurants, boutique stores, bars, and cafes.
