A centerpiece of Victoria Square, the Bowker Square was funded as a gift by Henry Layton Bowker who worked his land and estate business opposite what was then known as Market Place.

Cette fontaine est amusante à regarder mais je trouve que les couleurs sont un peu criardes. Cela reste néanmoins une animation bienvenue dans le parc.
