Water flower

Drops of water form flower-like splashes on the fountain's marble steps at Patterson Park. The marble fountain that sits near the Pagoda at the northwest end of Patterson Park is among the first architectural elements designed at the park and serves as a peaceful oasis from the noisy traffic that zooms past on nearby streets. A popular spot among Baltimore residents, it was designed by George A. Frederick in 1865 and restored by the Department of Parks and Recreation in 2004.
