Created to commemorate the first moon landing, this downtown park takes its name from the Sea of Tranquility, where Neil Armstrong landed on July 20, 1969. Aspects of the mission are reflected in the park, whose sculpted terrain was designed to mimic the lunar terrain and whose dazzling fountain features stainless steel cylinders intended to resemble rocket boosters. Tranquility Park is a terrific place to bring a picnic or to enjoy the coolness of water and greenery in the midst of a hot summer day.
