The fence around the fountain in the Public Square (a.k.a. Seventh Street Park) is coming down this morning. This is something people have been talking about for more than a decade, but thanks for Friends of the Public Square (FOPS), it is finally happening.

Please take note that a fence was erected around the fountain because a few citizens decided it would be great to place color dyes, soap bubbles, etc. in the water.
ReplyDeleteThe main reason was young unwatched children would play in the water. So don’t be surprised if history repeats itself.
Do we know what is replacing, if anything, the fences around the pool with the non-functioning fountain? Surely it won't be accessible to anyone, will it?
ReplyDeleteI've heard many people talking about the strongest, most invisible force field ever in history.
DeleteIt will still be vandalized by those with superhuman powers bent on destruction.
DeleteThe fountain prisoner is finally set free !!!
ReplyDeleteYay! Well done FOPS. Good start
ReplyDeleteThe plan is to seek community input via a series of community meetings, survey, etc… on the park and the water feature. Temporarily we will use the fountain basin as a planter. You all will have an opportunity to express a view.
ReplyDeleteSeeing as winter is around the corner, can it be assumed that the planter idea won't happen for several months? Are children, or anyone else, allowed in the pool in the meantime? I don't see anything there today to prevent that.
DeleteHappy to see it. The "Inspiration" fountain was not very inspiring. Hope we get something close to the original one back. And yes, jokesters are going to put soap suds, etc., or try. Cameras need to be part of the new setup.
