:* [[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] - The article is new enough, long enough, QPQ done, and either hook is fine, though I think the first is better. The image is fine. I am concerned, however, because there appears to be a lot of close paraphrasing in the article. For example: article: "It contains open grassy areas, a playground, shaded sitting areas, gardens, an interactive fountain and waterfront views.", source: "The space boasts large, open grassy areas, a playground, shaded sitting areas, gardens and an expansive interactive fountain."; article: "At the 1935 California Pacific International Exposition (World's Fair), plans for the building were hailed as a prototype of American civic center architecture.", source: "At the 1935 World’s Fair Exposition, plans for the San Diego City and County Administration Building were hailed as a prototype of American civic center architecture." There are other such instances of close paraphrasing or copying. Also, a few sentences do not have inline citations. Unless this is fixed, it doesn't meet DYK criteria. Thanks!
