The Ron. K. Bills play fountain at Miller Community Center is a handicap-accessible water play feature. It should be working from 11 AM till 8 PM every day till September. 

This little video shows Pedro, son of a colleague of mine, running around in his little wet-suit. Larger version of video is here.  

A slideshow of the construction of the fountain is here, but if you want to view our documentary about the people who built the fountain, you’ll have to ask me for a VHS copy ([email protected])

Two thoughts:

1) If you’re at the fountain and note that the central water jet is very low (or not working) or if the ring of water jets aren’t shooting up as much as normal, please pop into the Center and tell the staff. It means that the filters are clogged up and need cleaning.

2) Next year will be the 10th anniversary of the opening of the fountain. Anybody care to help me organize an anniversary celebration? (Hint: we can invite the Mayor, which should be a good way to ensure that all necessary maintenance gets done). The 10 year anniversary party for the Center was fun.  Contact me: [email protected]
