The street does not appear to serve any purpose, and removing it would allow expanding the park to a reasonable size. Look what they've done a few blocks away in Lafayette Square.

I'm guessing the second one is more likely, since I don't think they name stuff after living people. Too bad there's not more info on who Cronin was and what he did to deserve a plaque on a rock in a park. Good detective work, LKB!

It seems to me you could fit at least twice the trees just on the Western ave side if you put them in the grassy area or even on the red brick area. There are trees right up to the curb on all the adjacent streets, why not on this island? Why settle for three trees in a knot when you could have a grove of ten trees that you could sit amongst, in the shade? Or maybe just plant a double row along the hypotenuse and leave the triangle grassy but shielded from the traffic of Western ave? I certainly never meant to replace trees with seating.
