通过申利广场，公园和奥克兰区的城市肌理得以紧密融合，这样不但能够拉近市民与景观的关系，人与人之间的交流连系也变得更为密切。散步大道成对角线穿过广场，亭台、花园和喷泉沿两条轴线布置，供沿路行人欣赏和享用；旧有设计中依然存活的树木，被并入新设计的景观之中；申利纪念喷泉经过翻新后，通过多用途草坪和花园与附近的匹兹堡大学校园联系起来。

The plaza stitches together the park and the Oakland urban fabric, inviting people to engage with the landscape and with each other. A pedestrian promenade runs diagonally through the plaza and inflects the whole space toward Schenley Park. Retail pavilions and a performance oval are located along this promenade and enhance the amenity of the landscape.

Schenley Plaza offers a valuable model for delivering major urban improvements. Energetic community engagement guaranteed that the project would be used and loved. A determined consortium of foundations, corporations and public funders demonstrated that major public capital projects are possible despite Pittsburgh’s cash-strapped budget. Thoughtful planning for financial sustainability guarantees that no agency will be left holding the bag for future management or maintenance of the Plaza.

Today about half-million a people use Schenley Plaza every year, many in wonderfully creative ways. Schenley Plaza has become a stage for the people of Pittsburgh, and to this stage they are bringing the passions of their lives to share with other members of the community.
