Founders Square — Attraction in Portage

Been in portage entire life. It's ok. Just alot of colored, (beautiful inside) apartments, play ground and splash pad. An overhang said to be an amphitheater. Valparaiso has an amphitheater.

I hope Portage adds more apartment buildings with more little shops.... a coffee and chocolate shop would be nice or a place for lunch with tables outside. I can ride my bike there on the paved trail. Looking...

It was a new experience for them. And it is free! The negatives are that people throw their trash on the ground, and the little kids will pick it up. Also you can see some things are broken. The city used our tax money to provide a nice place for our children and people trash it. I wish the city would put cameras thier to catch these people and use it as a way to discourage others from following their...
