The Interactive Fountain
It’s been 15 years of fun splashing in the fountain, but with normal wear & tear that comes with time we have been faced with the tough reality that, despite a diligent effort, the fountain is irreparable & will be closed indefinitely.
There’s a free fountain in Riverdale Park, Maryland (by the Whole Foods). I’ve been seeing lots of preschoolers there.
Is there a good list of parks with water slides in the same area?
City Center fountains are great too!
Awesome! Can kids play in them? We had it on there, but took it off bc I thought City Center’s policy is no toys/water toys, swimwear, or running.
