Nice... I think...
Just curious, what is the fill between the bricks? One of my least favorite jobs is trying to pull the weeds between the bricks on my front walkway

The industry standard is polymeric joint sand which is swept in under dry conditions, then watered in to activate it. It forms a solid seal which should maintain weed free joints for many years.

I like how it has no benches, or that long one that is perhaps too narrow to spread out on. You don't want a pocket homeless addiction park, of which is a real possibility now.

You are literally looking at multiple benches in that photo.

Those are 2 seaters, bro. I'm talking the classic 3 seater with the back and sides. You don't roll off those when sleeping, like on a couch. And a 2 seater does not work with 2 strangers seated, so it's not really a bench, or in the practical public usage sense. It's one end for you, the other for your sandwich and drink.

The plaza is neat and tidy but a bit stark. Another thing that may become an issue is that those are Honeylocust trees (Gleditsia) which are not known for their shade tolerance. It is quite unlikely they will thrive in this space and will become stressed and diseased and need to be removed sooner rather than later. Even if they were appropriate for shade, these tress become MUCH too large for this space.
