Fountain Fun Facts

As a very popular spot to cool off, the Ozark Stream and Fountain has many interesting features:

• Materials: Two colors of granite (rose and black).
• The entire system is computer controlled.
• Fountain includes:
  • 18 Microshooter Jets (Air and Water powered)
  • 36 Analog Jets
  • Stream has 8 Jellyfish (another type of water jet) along the upper portion
• Water Volume of entire system: approx. 21,000 gallons
• Designer: WET Design, Los Angeles, CA (the same company that designed the $60,000,000 fountains at the Bellagio in Las Vegas NV, among hundreds throughout the world).

When there are to be concerts in the park the fountain can be turned off and the top surface of the fountain becomes the stage.
