Civic Plaza

Lawrence Civic Plaza, located at the heart of Fort Ben at Otis Ave and Wheeler Rd, underwent a $1.5 million renovation in 2022, transforming it into a vibrant community hub. This versatile space hosts popular annual events such as A Lawrence Christmas, Winterfest, and Halloween Fest, providing a perfect setting for residents and visitors to relax outdoors.

Recent improvements include a wind tree that powers plaza outlets, public seating, decorative concrete, bike racks, and a pergola walkway. In 2024, the plaza unveiled a new outdoor community grill and outdoor games like dominos and corn hole, fostering connection and fun. With the addition of a beautiful 22-foot Christmas tree, Civic Plaza is set to be the centerpiece for festive celebrations. Come explore this dynamic space and make lasting memories with your neighbors!
