Wortham Fountains


These water features are located within Tranquility Park in downtown. In fact, you can catch a glimpse of City Hall in the background.

Opened in 1979 and dedicated on the tenth anniversary of the lunar landing, these towering stainless steel cylinders were meant to resemble the Apollo mission's rocket boosters.
