The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Departments's Feature Friday

Each Friday, the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department features something new for residents and visitors to learn more about. This week we want to tell you about the Heritage Fountain!

At almost 11 feet tall, the Heritage Fountain has been a focal point at Jennerjohn Park since it was installed in 2004. It’s made of solid granite and features a soaring eagle at the top. The brick plaza surrounding the fountain includes memorial bricks, benches, stone walls and beautiful landscaping. Though there is no swimming, standing, or throwing money into the fountain, it is still the perfect place to relax and enjoy some nature!

The water within the fountain is usually kept a bright blue using special fountain dye however you may notice something a little different about it during the month of October.. IT’S PINK! After winning our Facebook poll, the Heritage Fountain was dyed pink to show our support, and help raise awareness, for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
