In 1961, the Diamond Market - two buildings connected by an elevated foot bridge - was demolished to make way for Market Square Park. The park, split by Forbes Avenue (formerly Diamond Street), included brick pavements, grass, and trees, and offered office workers and visitors a place to gather and occasionally enjoy public events.
