Courthouse Park

Make sure you have change for the meters they are only allow an hour but across the street they have 9$ all day parking. When you enter you have to empty your pockets and go through a metal detector the officers are very thorough. Then to the left you can find 3 big screens with your name court room number and floor.

For jury duty, I got a summons that was very informative on what to do before getting there and how to get there. They made the sign in easier from the last time I was there; they have a kiosk they just scan your badge to sign in and the seating is placed better, they now use actual tv than the projector they used to use. It's clean in the room and they let you eat in there. The staff and security were very kind and helpful. The only thing is they don't have restrooms in that building so you have to go to the other building side and sometimes if the 1st story restroom is full you have to go up to a different floor.

The courthouse park is huge and has a tone of space to walk, jog or do any physical activities. It’s also great for feeding squirrels and birds (don’t know if that’s allowed honestly but I do it ☠️), also good for taking your dog for a walk. It’s decently clean, but there are loads of trash cans (please pick up after yourselfs). I rate it a 4 because tons to do (bringing your own equipment or things) but, more could be added for what you would call a “park” (playground, drinking fountains, public bathrooms).

Whether it's people selling food,with amazing sense of humor to catch your attention so you are down to whatever product they are selling. Or it's just the people feeding the birds and then making a loud noise so all 30 of them try to fly away at once.

The trees are beautiful, this day was beautiful, it was surprisingly clean. I do wish there was more of a visual presence of security. As a person who is only down here for jury duty it would be nice to have that feeling of safety.
