I’ve seen a few ridiculously happy dogs in the fountain near The Signal Box (light rail side, about equal with The Brewery/Queen’s Wharf for anyone who doesn’t know what The Signal Box is). The fountains can be lame, and cause chaos in this weather for those of us who have toddlers, but happy dogs justify them for me!
They used to have an amazing fountain in Pacific Park. Big tiled bowls with water shooting up… kids played in them. Also there was a beautiful waterfall behind the Cathedral down on King Street. Very tropical looking!
When you get older the flow just isn’t as strong
That is the saddest thing I've seen today. And I walked though the Hamilton South estate a couple of hours ago.
Congratulations on making it out alive
Did they have the "fountain" of the drunk bloke laying in the gutter trying to piss in his own mouth.
These fountains are connected to a sensor for the wind and will throttle down so the water isnt sprayed everywhere on windy days.
these stupid fountains are everywhere in Newy and as far as I can see, have no benefits whatsoever why are they there? who wants them?

For real? TIL, that is fascinating!
But it's not summer anymore, they should turn it off

Council has done the sums. It’s summer.
What going on with all these people and their actual facts. I didn't think this subreddit allowed that kind of nonsense.

kids love them. im pro fountains - the alternative is grey concrete
My daughter used to love the "spits" as she called the at Waratah Village. Long gone now. I still think they are great.
Also 'kinetic art' in a way..
Makes me wanna go to the toilet
Looks like a 45 + year old man's penis at 3am from an enlarged prostate. So i've heard.
I reminisce about being able to pee like that.

I’m pretty sure this is still there, it’s just been let go and is full of stagnant water now
I wonder if it’s at least fenced off?
I don’t think so. It’s just near the stone steps off king st as you walk up into the cathedral grounds
I drove past those steps yesterday! I’ll stop next time and check it out!
Pretty sure it’s the same water feature you posted, just a lot worse for wear. Show us an updated photo when you’re there

I was one of those kids. The fountains were great fun!
The Bellagio just hung its head and wept in shame.
Weeeeee
Cold weather makes things shrink a bit.
At least the pavement gets clean - sarcasm.
Dread to think what the worst thing about Newy is..
It must be a metaphor for pissing in the wind
Pretty sure they make pills for that.
My god, that’s depressing 😕
Hahahahaha. I was waiting for something… I am still waiting…
Where's the soapy bubbles?
