Centrally located in Juneau Town, right next to the Cathedral of St. John, which gives the park its name, the park was designated a park status in 1939, before which it was known as the Courthouse Square. The square also used to house a jail, which was the scene of the famous historic event in 1854 when about 5,000 locals came together to protest the arrest of a runaway slave, Joshua Glover. Though the courthouse and jail are long gone, the square still holds a prominent place in the city's landscape, being the venue for various popular events like Jazz In The Park. Call to know more.
