One of the largest of London's private squares, designed and laid out by John Nash, dominated by plane trees said to have been planted in 1817 to commemorate the allied victory at Waterloo two years earlier. Other trees of note include a tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and weeping silver lime (Tilia tomentosa 'Petiolaris')
An original and unique feature of the garden is the Nursemaids' Tunnel, an early pedestrian underpass connecting the Square to Park Crescent. The tunnel passes under the busy Marylebone Road, allowing families to promenade safely through both gardens without worrying about the noisy public throng passing overhead.
The combination of Park Square and Crescent was designed to form a transitional entrance feature to Regent’s Park, leading the visitor from the formal Nash streetscape of Portland Place in the south, to the green and picturesque landscape in the north. It was described as a 'sort of vestibule' to the new royal park. New gates and railings have been installed to original designs.
The gardens retain most of their original Nash layout and have been managed continuously from their inception by an organisation specifically set up in 1824 to carry out this task, the Crown Estate Paving Commission.

Secretary Rita Landgraf congratulated Bayhealth Medical Center for its holistic and patient-centered approach to treating those in need of care at Kent General Hospital in Dover. As part of Patient Centered Care Awareness Month, Secretary Landgraf presented a proclamation from Gov. Jack Markell and Lt. Gov. Matt Denn to Bayhealth. “What makes Kent General’s and Bayhealth’s approach so effective is that you help to empower patients and their families by ensuring that they are central to all decisions made about a patient’s care,” she said. The international Spirit of Planetree Awards honor care that focuses holistically on mental, emotional, spiritual and physical healing. Honored were Dr. Christie Miller (Physicians Champion); Maria Stir, RN-4A (Caregiver Champion); and pet therapy dog Jack with owner Kayleigh Karnbach (2013 Pet Therapy Animal of the Year for Planetree).

The 96 ancient plane trees (Platanus orientalis) were planted in the late 1820s and are near the end of their healthy lifespan. Arborists have installed a web of steel cables to try to prevent their heavy branches from spreading to the point of falling.
