{{cquote|In the centre of [the public space] was a star-shaped stockade fort, designed as a place of refuge for the population in case of an Indian attack. Near it were the officers' quarters, barracks, guard house, ordinance store-house and laboratory, two powder magazines, the King's bake-house, cooperage shelter, and government store-house. This park was, therefore, in the early days of Pensacola, the liveliest and busiest part of the town.|20px|20px|Campbell, Richard L.

The British also later constructed [[Fort George]] north of the town at [[Gage Hill]], and the [[Queen's Redoubt]] to the northwest.
