The breathtaking shows will go on throughout the year.
For those who have yet to see it, Dallas’ Klyde Warren Park is now home to a majestic new fountain made up of three 15-foot-stainless-steel treelike sculptures that can shoot water up to 100 feet into the air. Opened in September it is dubbed the world’s tallest interactive water fountain and features a 5,000-square-foot splash pad that can accommodate hundreds of children at a time.
The fountain’s design was inspired by the surrounding beloved green space, “with three 15-foot stainless-steel “trees,” 14 “rosebud” bubblers, and 106 small nozzles that create giant “leaves” when they are working in unison” according to the Klyde Warren Park website.
Named after longtime board member Nancy Best, who along with her husband Randy donated $10 million to fund the fountain, the new fountain has now begun offering visitors choreographed 30-45-minute shows where water dances to music and lights.
Taking place nightly at 6:45 pm and daily at midday, this month’s musical theme is “Dancing in the Dark” though every month will present a different theme and performance. Guests are encouraged to play in the water during both the evening performances and the non-illuminated shows every day at noon.
Like all fountains in Klyde Warren Park, this too is powered by recirculated water, which goes through a continuous filtration and sanitizing process. Luckily for locals, there is more to the enchanting fountain than its ethereal appearance.
