Polk Bros Park serves as a "front lawn" to Chicago's Navy Pier.
Landscape Architecture Magazine said, "From the outset, this water feature puts Navy Pier's emphasis on engaging and interactive social spaces.
It's 100 feet in circumference, outlined by a set of 3-D modeled concrete berms worth scrambling over, with 147 water jets that create parabolic arcs that expand and contract.
These concentric arcs are nearly architectural expressions themselves: tunnels that are the perfect size for children to run through in cloaks of mist emitted from the fountain’s center.
