Fountain Park Improvements – Phase VI

The final phase of improvements to Fountain Park is underway . Major work will include reconstruction of the east parking lot off of Panorama Drive and will include lighting . Low-level bollard style lighting will be added to the internal sidewalks to allow people to walk without flashlights or headlamps after sunset . Three monument signs will be installed on corners of the park letting people know, especially those visiting from out of town, that they have arrived at the park . Lastly, there will be several informational kiosks installed that will show the park rules and have a list of upcoming special events . Once the work is finished the park will be fully developed under the park’s Master Plan, which was completed through a public process in the late 90’s .
