It is bounded by 9th Street and Golf Course Road to the north and south, and Arkansas Highway 8 and Gurdon Avenue to the east and west. The park is about {{convert|1.5|acre|ha}} in size, and is mostly open lawn, with a low stone retaining wall on the street-facing edges. The town library, built in 1935 with funding from the Works Progress Administration, stands at the center of the park, and there are four diamond-shaped flower planting areas located near the corners of the park, built in 1937 with WPA funding. It is the only known Depression-era town square laid out and built in Montgomery County.<ref name=NRHP>{{cite web|url=http://www.arkansaspreservation.com/National-Register-Listings/PDF/MN0038.nr.pdf|title=NRHP nomination for Norman Town Square|publisher=Arkansas Preservation|accessdate=2015-10-19}}</ref>
