Fountain square

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A fountain square is a park or plaza in a city that features a fountain. A fountain square is similar to a town square but is usually smaller and not situated in front of the town hall or county courthouse. It may stand alone or as part of a larger public park.

In the United States, there are numerous fountain squares, many of which are actually called "Fountain Square." There are fountain squares in places such as Indianapolis, Indiana; Evanston, Illinois; Bloomington, Indiana; and Bowling Green, Kentucky. One famous fountain square has been in Cincinnati, Ohio (see Fountain Square, Cincinnati) for over 100 years and continues to be a popular tourist attraction, including the famous Tyler Davidson Fountain shown in the opening credits of WKRP in Cincinnati.

Fountain Square in Baku, Azerbaijan, is one of the country's most famous tourist destinations.
