In front of the Metro Center along the northerly side of East-West highway is Hassler Park. The park is dedicated to Ferdinand Rudolph Hassler, the first Superintendent of the “Survey of the Coast”, as it was called at its inception in 1807. Although very small in area, Hassler Park offers a quiet interlude for a busy day about the city; perhaps a good place to eat lunch and discuss the day’s activities.
