Ocala's downtown square had been neglected for a long time and was looking downright tacky. Not anymore. As part of a larger plan for revitalization of the downtown area, it has been renovated and updated and is now a much more pleasant place for our residents and visitors... and even the homeless.
The "new" square also provides a nicer venue for various events which are held there such as concerts, art shows and the Farmer's Market which is a Saturday feature.

Looks inviting. Eugene Oregon ... City near where we spend summers ... Has a Saturday Market that is so much fun. Really peps up the downtown area. We need to explore Ocala area a little more.
Quite pretty. That gazebo structure really draws my eye.
It does indeed look inviting and I do agree with Sallie!! Beautiful capture, Lowell!! Hope you have a lovely weekend!!
This has that small town appeal to it. I like it very much. For some reason it makes me think of "The Music Man" and Gary Indiana.
I think that large tree really makes it special, Lowell! And the gazebo looks lovely.
Looking good, Lowell. Looking good.
Nice looking spot.
What a lovely setting! :)
Looks very relaxed...
Will you be covering the events held there for your blog visitors?
In response to your comment on my post - There is a bird taking off from the tree :)
Sharon's right! That gazebo looks like The Music Man should be marching right out!
It looks very nicely renovated. Glad to hear that it's also used!
Very spic and span!
The new square looks very nice...
A town square is so important to the community, good to see your town square getting a bit of TLC Lowell..
So wonderful when a downtown gets revitalized. Build it and they will come! Have a great weekend, Lowell.
