Union Drive West bisects the park; the main area, featuring a promenade along the river, lies to the west and spans from Nickel Street to about Silicon Street (which terminates at Ivy Drive South). The secondary area of the park occupies a narrow parcel of land between [[Union Drive West]] and Ivy Drive South; in it lies a replica of [[wp:Grant's Tomb|Grant's Tomb]]. The two halves of the park are connected by a pedestrian overpass which is located at about Pyrite Street (which also terminates at Ivy Drive South). | ||
