Norman Town Square

The Norman Town Square is a public park at the center of Norman, Arkansas. It is bounded by 9th Street and Golf Course Road to the north and south, and Arkansas Highway 8 and Gurdon Avenue to the east and west. The park is about 1.5 acres (0.61 ha) in size, and is mostly open lawn, with a low stone

retaining wall on the street-facing edges. The town library, built in 1935 with funding from the Works Progress Administration, stands at the center of the park, and there are four diamond-shaped flower planting areas located near the corners of the park, built in 1937 with WPA funding. It is the only known Depression-era town square laid out and built in Montgomery County. The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1993.
