Love

JFK Plaza (aka LOVE Park) was designed by Vincent Kling as a public plaza to cover an underground parking garage as part of the urban renewal of Center City during the mid-60's. Robert Indiana's LOVE sculpture was installed in the Plaza for the Bicentennial,originally temporary, but it became permanent. The fountain was dyed in 2003 as a stunt; it turned out that the dye was non toxic; the fountain is often colored for events. The Plaza has become a popular skateboarding attraction.
