A fountain located in Portland.
Reviewed By MommaHarris - Seattle, United States
This fountain's water flows all year round. There are quite a few fountains along the path from here towards the South, where you can also visit Lovejoy Fountain and a couple smaller fountains... We used to play here in the summer when I was a kid, then my kids came here to play and there's even a "secret" cove where you can stand under the falling water! Do not leave children unattended and ALWAYS wear water shoes! Do not play in this fountain barefoot! Lounging in the sun or hanging at lunchtime or taking beautiful photos as your backdrop while attending an event at the Ira Keller Auditorium are just a few ways to enjoy this architectural water feature...

Lined with magnificent churches, historic apartments, the Portland Art Museum, Portland State University,and a few retail stores, the South Park Blocks are really beautiful all seasons of the year. It is a long but narrow span of great trees and places to sit for enjoying people watching and enjoying a slice of nature in an urban setting. anyone visiting Portland is sure to enjoy a stop here. It is also home to this Saturday’s farmers market!
