The Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department'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 Jennerjohn Park!

At almost 11 feet tall, the Heritage Fountain has been a focal point at Jennerjohn Park since it was installed in 2004. It is made of solid granite and usually features a soaring eagle at the top. The brick plaza surrounding the fountain includes memorial bricks and 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 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 PURPLE! Our Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department likes to have a little fun to finish out the season and has been dying the fountain a different color since 2016.
