Fountains Become Popular As Temps Rise

Jamison Square Fountain


Each winter we shut down all the municipal fountains to prevent damage from freezing, and make necessary repairs. This early heat wave has caught us without all of our fountains flowing for the summer.

 

These public fountains are flowing today:

 

  • Bill Naito Legacy Fountain
  • Salmon Street Springs
  • Skidmore Fountain
  • Elk Fountain
  • Animals in Pools
  • Pioneer Courthouse Square Waterfall Fountain
  • Pettygrove Fountain

Our operations staff hopes to get Jamison Square and Teachers flowing by the end of the week, but not in time for our current heat wave.


If you'd like do a walking tour of all the downtown fountains, we have brochure to guide you. (PDF)


Lastly, please be aware of the safety signage at our fountains, we want to make sure everyone uses common sense caution and has a safe experience.

 

Enjoy the sunshine, and the fountains!
