This is a beautiful place by the water. It needs to have more benches as people always seem to be looking for them. The fountain needs alot of work aswell. The city seems to be ignoring this. The fountain needs a good clean and paint job. The water in it always looks dirty. It may not be dirty, but why dont they paint the basin of this a blue colour when they drain it for the season. Right now it seems to have a paint colour that is more like a sewage colour. Of course it will cost money to do this but at the same time this is a big tourist area and it does not make a good impression on anyone. As said, the fountain needs work, it looks like it needs a good clean and really I dont think it would cost alot of money (some, yes of course) but leaving it looking like the city does not care about the impression it leaves people with is not the answer. There seems to be structural work needed in parts aswell because some parts look like they have been replaced which is great, other parts of the cement look like they could fall in or away from the fountain. If a city, with only so much, interms of funds spends money on things, should some of that at least go towards the tourist area which this area is (and a very popular park for the people of the city as well). It would not take alot to take this fountain (that should be beautiful) and make it beautiful again. Right now its tired looking and it looks like it's been forgotten by the city.
