Description
Inspired by the rivers and waterfalls of the Pacific Northwest, a giant, rugged-looking fountain occupies a full city block directly opposite the Civic Auditorium. Water flowing down through a grassy park planted with pine trees cascades over a series of 18ft multilevel concrete cliffs. Square, irregularly placed platforms over the pool act as stepping stones, allowing visitors to get close to the waterfall and even duck behind it. Angela Danadjieva designed the fountain for Lawrence Halprin Associates.
