Loose Park Lake Fountain |
A small lake was already on the grounds when Mrs. Jacob Loose donated Loose Park to the city. In 1964, the lake was beautified in the style of a Japanese garden. Willows make a quiet backdrop to the “Diana” spray pattern fountain erupting from the lake's center.
In 1993, after renovating and sealing the lake, the fountain was donated to the Parks Department by the Air-O-Lator Corporation and the Cramer family in memory of Roy A. Cramer Jr. the founder of Air-O-Lator Corporation. Air-O-Lator also extended perpetual repair of the fountain at no charge

Loose Park Rose Garden Fountain |
Mrs. Jacob Loose donated eighty acres of land to the city with the stipulation that it be developed as a quiet, restful area as opposed to a recreational park. A one and a half acre section known as the Rose Garden has this pool fountain at its center.

A competition was held to select the sculptor for this wall fountain, and Jeannette Keline of Kansas City was awarded the commission. She created a larger-than-life-size figures of a man of a woman, which were placed in semicircular niches on the south wall of a service building. They were unveiled during the 1942 Rose Day celebration. The kneeling figures each hold bowls from which water tricked into keep retrain basins at the base of the niches. The water elements were eliminated in 1946.
