Point State Park's fountain won't be operational this summer due to major upgrades.

The fountain is being improved as part of a multi-million-dollar facelift for the park.

All of the underwater lights, 280 of them, are being replaced along with the wiring and controls in the pump house.

2025 is becoming a transition year for Pittsburgh in preparation for several big events happening next year which includes:

America250PA, Pennsylvania's celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, and the 2026 NFL Draft.

As the fountain gets its upgrade, so will Point State Park, to the tune of $3.4 million.

Officials hope the fountain will be ready for testing this fall.
