Harnik says this park in Boston's financial district "completely revolutionized" the small (1.7 acre) space that it occupies as well as the buildings around it. A concrete parking garage was moved underground and lunchtime lingerers now lounge on the grass above--hence the park's motto, "Park above, park below."
