There really isn't too much to say about this fountain. It goesn't go very high, and it isn't a spectacular rush of water. It is interesting in that it has a lot of natural plants growing in it. Unfortunately, during most hours of the day, the joyful sound of the water playing across the rocks is heavily drowned out by all the nearby traffic noise.

I was unable to find a title on the fountain.

The fountain has two pools, and water enters both pools by bubbling up through piles of rocks. The larger of the two pools is slightly higher, and some of the water runs from the larger pool into the smaller one.

All of the rocks look natural, and it appears that there were some serious attempts at creating a small piece of nature in this very urbanized environment.
