    Great place to sit and just be. Park is well kept with benches and a walk path through it. Historic fountain is the focal point but also has lovely foliage throughout. Nestled around many restaurants, bakeries, coffee houses, and bars.

    It was cold but I always have to visit the beautiful fountain when I am passing through. Great little park, well maintained.

    We have passed the square several times but after a quick lunch at Spencers we decided to walk the squat and spend a little time in the park. It has beautiful landscaping and was very clean. The tulips were our favorite flower there and there was plenty to see. Our only complaint was the fountain not operating. It was beautiful Saturday afternoon. The fountain would have been the pinnacle of the park.

    First time in the heart of Bowling Green. Have drove by on the interstate heading to Nashville many times, but wanted to see what downtown looked like. This square and park are thriving. The fountain is one of the most beautiful I've seen. The residents should definitely appreciate the beauty of downtown and this park.

    We were traveling through the area while on vacation. The downtown was cute and the Fountain Square Park really drew us in. We sat and enjoyed the flowers, greenery and watching the squirrels.

    Beautiful little Park, love that it was nice size with plenty of benches, the fountain and statues are very nice. The whole area is well-maintained. Only downside is most businesses surrounding the park are closed Sunday and Monday, some permanently closed. We were in the area on Sunday and Monday lol.

    This was a present surprise. I really enjoyed the ambiance of this plaza. I went there on a Sunday, so it was very peaceful. Although I prefer peaceful, I am not sure how rambunctious it gets at high traffic time. There were several interesting looking pubs, bars and backeries. They might be nice if they have outside seating so you could graze and gaze.

    Visited 7/23/23 I don't understand the hype. It was boring, no real shopping or restaurants in the area. Just take pictures and go. Or sit on a bench to read & people watch. It is not a playground

    It is just the downtown park in Bowling Green, but it is beautifully landscaped with fountains and statues. We stopped in a couple shops around the park as well. We were only in Bowling Green for one night on our vacation travels and stopped here at night and the next day. Historic downtown areas are always great to see, and this one did not disappoint.

    I really have to congratulate the leadership of this town for creating and maintaining such a lovely and classy town square! It feels so nice to sit here among the flowers and the fountain, with a cup of fresh ice cream to top it off. Great job!

    Great place to shop for nick nacks and gifts to send home. I was there for #springflingweekend and some of the stores participated offering up 10%. All the stores I went in were independently owned small businesses and extremely delightful in the services they provided.

    This little park is in the center of the historic district surrounded by many businesses and great restaurants! It has sun and shady areas, places to set and relax. A fountain in the Middle to calm your nerves! It is a must see and stay awhile when your in Bowling Green! I loved my time spent here today!

    Very nice an elegant looking with the use of only white/clear/plain lights. With the plainness of the lights there could have been more wreathes, bows, or something to have gave more of the Christmas feel and doubled for a great photo spot. However, seeing the work that had just been completed to the downtown area the lights all one solid color was classy.

    Very cool and historic place in town. I love all the little boutique shops and historic churches around here. The fountain is so pretty lit up at night and the garden around the park is just as beautiful during the day. Spencer's Coffee on the square is for sure the spot to be.

    It was very pleasant and very well kept up. Went there in the morning and there were a few locals chatting and reading. Nice benches, statues and good shade in most of the park. Best thing I have found so far in Bolin Green.

    I felt like I was in a storybook walking around this square! 😆 Everyone was very sweet and I can't wait to burst out into song and dance💛

    Simple park benches and various statues. For us is was a nice place to walk during our day long trip. Just as nice are the various shops all around the park. Our favorite was the Meltdown ice cream shop with their unique flavors.
