This site was purchased in 2003 by the City of Punta Gorda Community Redevelopment Agency for the purpose of providing a public gathering space and additional parking for the historic Charlotte County Courthouse.  The Courthouse facility underwent a complete historically accurate restoration in 2009.  As a complement to this restoration the design of the site incorporated an urban plaza occupying approximately 1/5 (one fifth) of the site.  The improvements include seating, landscaping and a brick path.  The area hosts a weekly Farmer’s Market on Saturdays throughout the year.
