There are several elements to the fountain. In the center is a globe with several features on it suggesting landforms. Around it are two metal rings with water spraying on the center globe. Under these is a pool where the water falls and is recycled. Beyond this is a circular bench feature. Beyond this are several, smaller globes with patterns drilled on them set on cube frames. On the ground are four 'cardinal points,' which are unique characters.
