Trinder Square was originally a wide pond used for watering cattle and horses, but also a popular picnic spot for Port Elizabethans. The NMMU Faculty of Arts already has an attachment to the Square, in that its artistic revitalisation last year was undertaken by fine art, craft, design and mosaic students and members of the arts faculty. Unusually shaped benches covered in beautiful, bright mosaic tiles are one of the creative features of leafy Trinder Square, a playground park with shady trees and green lawn.
