Ed. Note: I recently asked NPS about the status of the fountains at the park and was told:
“we aren’t certain about spring 2023 for turning on the fountains. It will be dependent what short-term fixes are needed, but we are hopeful. The bigger rehabilitation need has been scoped and funding for that hasn’t been identified as of yet.”
