 Location: Jameson Park, Portland OR,  Although this fountain is turned off in this picture, during the summer it is full of people.  Water from an existing creek is pumped through horizontal slits in the stone and spills over the steps into the basin which fills to 18" and then periodically drains and refills throughout the day.  Materials: stone (imported from India), concrete pavers, metal grate.  Dimensions:~40'x20'x18"  This fountain attracts people from other neighborhoods and is quite full in the summer.  This fountain does require regular maintenance.
