This triangular memorial park occupies the intersection of State Route 44 and Under Mountain Road, which cuts diagonally between the triangle and the lawn of the North Canaan Congregational Church. Although a state highway, Route 44 supports only moderate traffic as it runs through a primarily rural area with a few antiques shops and other small businesses between Canaan Village in North Canaan, a small urban center, and East Canaan, the section of North Canaan where this green is located. An antiques shop is just east of the intersection, its parking lot adjacent to the leg of Under Mountain Road that forms one leg of the park's triangle. The surrounding countryside is open and actively farmed in many placed.

The centerpiece of the green is a three-sided war memorial of large cobble-sized brown fieldstone. A paved walkway leads to the memorial, which sits atop a concrete base. Seats are built into the memorial, on each side of which is a marble plaque, with incised inscriptions that were originally (but no longer) gold-leafed. These read: "In Memory of Those Who Answered Their Country's Call 1917-18"; "In Memory of Those Who Defended Their Country 1776 * 1812 * 1865 * 1898"; and "This Was Erected By the Citizens and Friends of East Canaan, Connecticut, 1928." Atop the memorial is the original bronze church bell of the North Canaan Congregational meetinghouse, cast in 1822 (marked Doolittle Fecit 1822) when the building was constructed. Also permanently on the green are a flagpole and a wooden sign for the nearby church. There is no curbing. The green is in excellent physical condition. The grass is carefully cut, and well-tended flowerbeds line the walkway and encircle the flagpole. Other landscaping is very modest, consisting of a few cedars and shrubs along the green's edges. According to Lois Carlson, historian of the church that owns this property, most of this is the work of the Town Beautification Committee headed by Jack Baldasare of East Canaan during the past three years. During that time an old spruce on the green was taken down and the present shrubs planted. There is a telephone pole on one corner, the only real intrusion.
