Great place in the city with beautiful fountain and buildings around. No swimming , but you defiantly can go near frogs and turtles and take a picture.

Feeling stressed? Come here after lunch during the week. Not too many kids running around so it's a nice place to clear you mind and zone out to the sounds of the fountain .

Sitting by the fountain is a great way to relax

Sit by the massively grand fountain and enjoy samplier times.

As much as you want too, don't swim in the fountain . Kids pee there.

Not enough chlorine in the greater 48 to get me in that fountain . Homeless people need to bathe somewhere but I don't need to swim where they do it!

Get out of that stuffy office , grab your lunch , and find some shade!
