  • I visited Fountain Park at the recommendation from my old college flatmate, Vijay R., who lives in the region, a couple weeks ago. It was a bit of a detour en route to Sedona (my original destination from Scottsdale), but after seeing the fountain go off there at the park, it was a well-worth detour in retrospect. I would never have thought to come by, since I'm not that avid about fountains really. The community of Fountain Hills, in general, is a nice, quiet bedroom community just northeast of Phoenix. The town is surrounded by beautiful views of the surrounding mountains. I'm sure it's sunny here 360 days of the year. Fountain Park is located near the center of town and is family-friendly, as evident by the number of parents, grandparents and children playing around. There are duplicate sets of playgrounds on two sides of the park near the parking lot. Several shops and strip malls are within easy walking distance. I was told the park's fountain was among the largest jet fountains in the world (definitely top 5, if not higher), and goes off 15 times a day, every hour or so for about 15 minutes. Since my party and I arrived for the fountain show early, we found a shaded bench/picnic table area and caught up on some emails and text messages. I noticed there were a lot of water fowl in the area, like ducks and such. The park was very peaceful overall. When the fountain came to life at 1pm, I took photos (you can see some posted here) like any other tourist. To get a scale of how big the fountain in the middle of the lake is, you can compare it against the size of people standing by the lakeside in the photos. The fountain's distance gives the illusion that it seems smaller than it really is. I suppose it also helps reduce the mist and splashing from the droplets. One of my friends looked up how high the water jet shoots on his iPhone, and apparently it goes up 560 feet. That's taller than the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris and another hundred plus feet higher than the fountain on Lake Geneva in Switzerland (Jet d'Eau). There's no other fountain in the country like it. I recommend visiting this local landmark if you're ever in Arizona or the southwest.
