Sundance Square's Downtown Plaza's interactive jetted fountain will remain so only from 2 - 6 p.m. each day. The fountain sits on a 50-by-60 foot area of the 55,000-square-foot whole and features 216 jets that send plumes of water sailing several feet high or burbling just a few inches off the ground in an always random display.
But, for the four-hour window each afternoon, these jets of water will only be for looking. Johnny Campbell, Sundance Square president and chief executive officer, told the Star-Telegram that feedback from square visitors prompted the implementation of the schedule. The square, which also features large umbrellas, a permanent stage, wave wall and commemorative fountains, is widely used for a variety of purposes. Sundance Square hopes to create a space that is accessible to all.
The new schedule is as follows:
• 10 a.m.-2 p.m.: Peaceful Period/Leisurely Lunch.
"Get the day started with a cup of coffee and a newspaper. Grab lunch to-go from a nearby restaurant and enjoy the views of Sundance Square Plaza. The fountains are for viewing only during this time."
• 2 p.m.-6 p.m.: Cool Down/Fountain Frolic.
"Step on in and enjoy the water of the jetted fountain." No bathing suits or diapers allowed.
• 6 p.m.-midnight: Tranquil Time.
"Sweethearts take a stroll through Sundance Square while enjoying the lights, views and sounds of this beautiful city. The fountains are for viewing only during this time."- Allana Wooley
