A council ring is a circular stone seating area intended to provide a quiet place to stop and take in the serenity of nature. A signature element of landscape architect Jens Jensen (1860-1951), it is meant to suggest communication and friendship without hierarchy. Drawing on Jensen's Viking past and Native American tradition, the circle symbolizes that all members of the community are equal in importance.
