When building a new attraction in the Lone Star State, there’s usually one major rule to stick to; bigger is always better. Proving the statewide slogan, “everything’s bigger in Texas,’ Klyde Warren Park in Dallas recently announced they will soon begin construction on the “world's tallest interactive fountain.”
The $10 million project is being funded by Klyde Warren Park board member Nancy Best and her husband, Randy. Located at the Pearl Street entrance on the east side of the park, the fountain will feature three stainless steel “trees” from which water will shoot up to 55 feet in the air. “It will truly be unlike anything seen before. When you look at aerial photos of Dallas in the future, we firmly believe this is the ‘blimp shot’ you will see. It will be a signature structure that by day beckons children at play and by night delights visitors with a spectacular show, reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower light show in Paris,” said chairman of the board of the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation, Jody Grant.
Each evening the fountain will turn into a colorful lightshow with synchronized music for guests to enjoy. The project is expected to be complete by December 2021.
