Recently, interactive fountains have been installed around the city's recreational centers. This one is pretty large, with a diameter of about 20 feet or more. A center device has water squirting out of it and it is surrounded by a circular, 4 foot high, blue, brick wall. Children and adults run around on the inside concrete bottom as the water cools them down. Beats paying for air conditioning!
The fountain can be accessed from East Godfrey Avenue (closest) or from Champlost Street (little further away). Both offer street=side parking. The park is open from dawn to dusk and also features two full court basketball courts, tennis courts, a large green, grassy area, a couple of war memorials and some paths to walk.
