Stratford Garden Park Fountain |
This fountain sits in a small triangular parklet in the County Club residential district. The fountain is a hybrid of sorts, as it consists of a rectangular horse trough basin affixed to an upright wall surface, typifying the classical wall fountain character. This antique Carrara marble horse was reportedly first used in a public square in Rome.

Swan Fountain |
Eight columns of pinkish-hued Verona marble with bases and capitals of white marble were purchased in 1927. The marble columns are 12' high and twist in a graceful spiral design. The columns are arranged in a slight curve. In the center of this curve is a white Carrara marble urn resting on an ornamental stone base. The fountain was purchased in Rome and consists of a base around which are four swans. A single jet of water issues from the summit.

Swope Park Zoo Entrance |
Located near the entrances to both the Zoo and IMAX Theatre, this fountain marks the beginning of the visitor's trek. A limestone terrace guides water down into a stream. The cool water is irresistible during the warm months that the zoo is open.
