World's smallest park
The flowered island pictured above is Mill Ends Park.
Located in Portland, Oregon, it covers 452 square inches, barely two feet across.
You could look it up.

This just in (3:28 p.m. today) from Mary Sue:
"That's the old location of Mill Ends, they had to do a major street widening/sewer project down SW Naito Parkway about two years ago. They moved it about a block over during the construction, and then had a gala re-opening about six months ago. Here's what it looks like now,
but remember the flowers change with the seasons. My friends from California came up to visit recently, and Mill Ends was on their list of things to see and have photos of their infant daughter taken at. Let me tell you, nothing more thrilling than manhandling a two-month-old into a concrete planter in the middle of a six lane road!"
