Lincoln Community Tower Square Park

Lincoln is growing up, and becoming a city with some culture, flare, and good eats. The Lincoln Community Foundation Tower Square is an 18,000 square foot park highlighted by a 57-foot-tall, internally illuminated with over 4,800 LED lights, multicolor column, known as Ascent Tower, by artist Jun Kaneko, the world famous artist from Omaha. The ground pavers have circular waves around the tower, reminiscent of a Japanese zen garden. This project took 5 years to complete, and downtown Lincoln is better off for it. It adds beauty, space to hold small outdoor concerts, and countless conversations as people enjoy it day and night. At night, it is breathtaking and adds a lot of character and artistic pizazz to downtown Lincoln and it adds a little more pride to live in this great city of Lincoln.
