This is a really cool sculpture, fountain and reflecting pool. It’s a very serene place with an aura of timelessness around it. If you visit, I would highly recommend taking a stroll through the rest of Washington Park. It’s incredibly well maintained and beautifully landscaped with ponds and walking trails šŸ˜ŠšŸ‘

I drive by here all the time in my car... but I finally decided to stop. Sometimes it's water in the fountain ⛲....but I guess maybe since it's winter they may not want it to freeze...but if there was water in it I wouldn't have been able to get this close.

Very neat sculpture, somewhere you want to visit in the daylight as there are no lights at night. Journey around the back and find the QR code to log your adventure
