    Academy Park

    Named after "The Academy," a school founded by Plato in Athens.

    Clapping Circle - the circular brick arena serves as a Grecian amphitheater. When standing in the center of the amphitheater, an orator can project his or her voice completely around the circle, which is ideal for professors holding class outside.
