This fountain located near the sea lion pool in the zoo was designed to be utilitarian as well as an artistic addition. A sculpture of a young girl sits atop a rectangular limestone base. It was placed within an alcove of trees in 1951.
The plaque reads "A gift of Edith Norton in memory of her mother Mary A. Fraser"

Mermaid Fountain |
Located on the Plaza, this courtyard fountain was originally built in 1930 and restyled in 1968. Two white marble mermaids dating back more than 300 rest on either end of a uniquely curved basin. Each statue blows into a shell sending a single stream of water into the pool.

Meyer Circle Fountain |
The busy intersection of this boulevard and parkway has become a popular landmark in Kansas City. The fountain hosts a 17th century Venetian sculpture purchased by J.C. Nichols in the early 1920's. The top figure of child & dolphin has been replaced by the Park Department.
The Meyer Circle Fountain, when viewed at the right direction by auto traffic, seems to have a comma near it. The comma comes from the front lawn of the home on West 64th Street.
