Midtown park is a one acre park with an open, green lawn and several sculptures. The most famous of these is the "Braille Music Box" by Po Shu Wang and Louise Bertelsen. This seven foot in diameter metal sphere has a mechanism that translates Braille letters into musical notes. Sight-impaired visitors can move the music box inside the sculpture to hear unique music.
