Evolution Square, located on Tuam Street between Little High eatery and EPIC is an inner city gathering space to sit, relax, meet as well as cater to live music events, markets and outdoor eating.

The name refers to development, advancement and growth over time. There are many historic buildings nearby and the name also refers to the way the area is evolving.

The site forms part of the much larger South Frame project which focuses on a green, people focused and a well-connected inner city centre.

This square is not for public parking.
