This Downtown Tulsa Fountain is located in a lower level courtyard at the SE corner of 4th and Main. The courtyard has a lot of grassy area, some large boulders, and right under this fountain is a large circle of bricks. There are several dozen abstractly shaped pieces of varying sizes that catch the water and spray it out. Some of the pieces look like large leaves or saucers, some look like nuts and bolts. The large courtyard has another fountain, just south of this one.
