The bronze monument and pedestal is positioned within an oval plaza, allowing the sculpture to appear visible to all those who travel on Broadway. Upon entry to the plaza, the “Huntoon’s Corner” maker is aligned in the center of the walkway. This walkway leads to a paved plaza where the sculpture is centrally placed toward the rear. Formal landscaping, benches, a light schema and impressions of footprints around the site make the site feel like a walking, living opportunity.
The design and installation of the plaza and its landscaping was accomplished by Sponzilli Landscaping, funded by a grant from Passaic County's Open Space, Farmland, and Historic Preservation Trust Fund program. The PPA and the Huntoon – Van Rensalier UGRR Foundation held a fundraising campaign to support the monument in October 2013. Both organizations teamed up with thatsmybrick.com to create a legacy path at the monument. Donors purchased personalized bricks that were permanently placed in the center of the plaza.
