Yavapai County Courthouse Square

Reviewed By 818rheaa - Prescott Valley, United States

The Yavapai County Courthouse Square in Prescott is a beautiful structure set in a lovely park environment. Trees and grass are everywhere. This provides a great place for rest or a nice walk around the square. At Christmas, the square is brilliant with lights and decorations. There are public bathrooms on the basement side that faces Montezuma St. In addition, flags adorn the walkway to the courthouse steps, and there are many interesting statues to view.
