________
The Watergarden Fountain was constructed in 1987 and is located at Bayfront Science Park, between the American Bank Center and The Art Museum of South Texas. The Watergarden Fountain is a crucial entertainment destination in Corpus Christi which attracts visitors and improves the economic development value of the downtown Seawall.
The Watergarden Fountain's Mechanical equipment has suffered repeated flooding events throughout it’s history. The Watergarden suffered the latest catastrophic flooding following Hurricane Harvey in 2017 and has been unserviceable since that time.
Since 2018, numerous efforts have been made to restore and repair the Watergarden. The Parks & Recreation Department and Engineering Services are currently working together on this project. The City welcomes the public to review the history of the Watergarden, actions taken by Council, and funding for future improvements to come!
