Fountain History
The Fountain has been a beloved fixture in Fife since 1914, originally serving as a watering station for horses at what is now the intersection of 54th and 20th Streets. In 1984, it was relocated to its current spot in front of the Fife Swim Center.
Fountain Restoration
As part of the revitalization, a section of “Fountain Park” at the southeast corner of 54th Avenue East and 20th Street East will be transformed into the new “Fountain Plaza.” This project will include clearing and site demolition, earthwork, stormwater drainage, concrete surfacing, landscaping, irrigation, and site lighting.
Improvements include a new concrete signage/street wall with a precast concrete cap, concrete stair, and metal railings.
Fountain Relocation
Robbins and Company was tasked with relocating the existing 100-year-old historic Fife Fountain from its current location in the parking area, to the new Fountain Plaza, and will be restored at its new location. Additionally, the Fountain will be retrofitted to include a new plumbing system for an active fountain, lighting, and aluminum fabrications for grating within the Fountain.
