Seville Light Fountain |
A triangular traffic island at a busy intersection on the Plaza is the setting for this ornate fountain. Sculptor Bernhard Zuckerman was commissioned to create an exact replica of the Plaza de Los Reyes fountain in Seville, Spain. The central shaft is 30' tall and carved from several kinds of marble. Water flows from the four masked faces located near its 20' square base.

Shepherds Fountain |
Two shepherds gaze at each other across the circular fountain at this Plaza setting. The landscaping is somewhat rugged which seems appropriate for these caretakers.

Shirley Bush Helzberg Garden of the Stars Fountain |
Starlight Theatre is a neighbor to the Kansas City Zoo in Swope Park. Inside the entrance is this fountain and stream which wind along a garden and gazebo. Ten cascades run between eleven red brick columns. The pool below has over a dozen vertical jets in descending heights as it fades from view.

Sittenfeld Memorial Fountain |
A concrete "tree stump" is the base for this drinking fountain located in Swope Park Zoo. A life-size raccoon perches on one of the limbs as a squirrel peers over the edge on the opposite side. The bronze panel describes Sittenfield: "A friend to children, animals, and big people".
The Sittenfeld Fountain was moved when the Africa area was constructed and is now in storage.
