The Square gardens
- Description
The Square was laid out as a reserve in the original plans for the town of Palmerston North. In the early 1900s the Beautifying Society laid out the first formal gardens, culminating in the lakelet, sometimes referred to as the Butterfly Lake due to its shape, which opened in 1909. The bridge that bisects the lakelet is the fourth built, and the fountains were added in 1960. Beyond can be seen the Hopwood Clock Tower, completed in 1957.
