DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF) – Klyde Warren Park in Dallas announced this week that construction will begin on a next-generation, interactive ‘super-fountain,’ planned with far taller and more exciting jets than any other in the world.The fountain is funded by a $10 million Christmas gift from longtime Klyde Warren Park board member Nancy Best and her husband, Randy.
According to the park board, The Nancy Best Fountain will adorn the Pearl Street entrance of the Park. Designed by Los Angeles-based Fluidity Design Consultants, it features a central island of three stainless steel “trees” from which water will pulse and soar to heights of more than 55 feet in the air. Each evening, the fountain will come alive with colorful light shows synchronized with high-fidelity, musical concert soundtracks.
“The only way to describe this fountain is spectacular,” said Jody Grant, chairman of the board of the Woodall Rodgers Park Foundation. “It will truly be unlike anything seen before. When you look at aerial photos of Dallas in the future, we firmly believe this is the ‘blimp shot’ you will see. It will be a signature structure that by day beckons children at play and by night delights visitors with a spectacular show, reminiscent of the Eiffel Tower light show in Paris.”
Design of the fountain is currently underway, with installation starting this summer. The Nancy Best Fountain is anticipated to be completed by December 2021.
