Rotary Fountain - part of the Sculpture Walk
Rotary Fountain, Spokane Sculpture Walk, Spokane Rotary, Expo '74, Harold Balazs, Bob Perron,sponsor
The Rotary Riverfront Fountain and plaza make up the Howard street entrance to Riverfront Park. The fountain was officially dedicated "to the people of Spokane" in 2005.
A 30 foot diameter ring is held up by 5 stainless steel columns. In the warmer seasons, jets spray towards the middle of the fountain creating a beautiful dome of waterfalls while other jets shoot water upwards, some provide mist, and a few spray sideways. In all, 40 jets create a delightful, dynamic waterscape. Keeping in mind the environmental theme of Expo' 74, the artists designed the fountain to conserve water by a filtration and recirculation process.
The fountain's sculptures were designed by Harold Balazs and Bob Perron.
