About This Fountain…

Built in the early 1900s as part of Bay Shore Amusement Park, this ornamental water fountain served to spray the iron well water used throughout the park in an effort to reduce its naturally undesirable taste and color. The park operated from 1906 to 1947 on about 20 acres in this area, and the fountain also formed a picturesque setting where visitors strolled and relaxed among meticulously manicured gardens and flowerbed-lined sidewalks. Under restoration in the present day, it is intended to again serve as a focal point of beauty and history for the new North Point State Park nucleus, through the leadership of Honorary Ranger Steve Takos Sr and other North Point State Park volunteers, staff, and members of the business community.
