YO!! Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park Fountains “Fully functioning and look lovely!!” Bottom Section reopens to public


16th Street between Euclid and W Street, NW

Ed. Note: We got our first sneak peek of the fountains flowing during testing on May 7th. Hopefully they stay on for the whole season now. Fences first went up in late December 2025.

Thanks to all who sent us photos yesterday and this morning: “Miracle of Miracles! Flowing and open to the public tonight at Meridian Hill/Malcolm X Park, Thursday evening. It was fenced off and not flowing this past weekend when I stopped by. This is lovely.”

MANY MORE Photos of the fountains filled and flowing:

“Fountain on and bottom section open at meridian hill/malcolm x park this am!”

Ed. Note: The last time we saw the fountains flowing properly was back in 2019.
