Public Plaza

A vibrant, dynamic new urban space in downtown Louisville, the Plaza provides a wonderful community gathering place and a gracious entrance to the Ali Center.

The Plaza’s two levels include a relaxing water wall and quiet reflecting pool on the upper level and a beautiful sculptural glass fountain on the lower level.  The two areas are connected by amphitheater-style seating – a great venue for outdoor events.  The Plaza’s design is both thought-provoking and purposeful.  The water that flows from the upper level through the amphitheater to the lower level - gaining speed and energy as it goes - symbolizes the cumulative force of Muhammad Ali’s influence, from the individuals he has touched to the world at large.
