"A praça conta com bancos, áreas verdes bem cuidadas e iluminação adequada, além de uma vibe de nostalgia, pela arquitetura historica em volta, presença de câmeras de vigilância e policiamento ocasional. Amo!"
Thiago Wolff
"Ola pessoal! Praça desta cidade é bem cuidada e dependendo do dia e época, tem festividades no entorno da praça. Local agradável, onde você pode estacionar o seu carro e curtir o local com amigos, namorado ou familia com sorveteria ao lado, lanchonete tipo trailer e um bar mais ao fundo do Centro Cultural. Praça tipica de interior com uma linda igreja."
