The fountain at Butler Park is irresistible!

Description: This dramatic new park includes an oval-shaped meadow, a plaza space and a 35-foot hill with sweeping views of downtown. Kids will enjoy the large interactive fountain. Fountain operates 8 am to 9:45 pm daily

Visit in the evening to see the fountain become a spectacle of colored lights and water. Walk up the small mountain for a beautiful view, and look for birds in the new pond.

There are 25 different water and light patterns, with a new one starting every 15 minutes.

As of 10/7/09 the fountain is out of service due to a broken pump. An estimated repair date is not available at this time.

Improvements to the filtration system are planned in 2010 to help keep up with the high usage.
