About the Location
Urban Oasis
Tucked within the bustling Westgate Entertainment District of Glendale, Arizona, Fountain Park offers a breath of fresh air for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle. This square public space sits right across from AMC Theatres, providing a peaceful contrast to the surrounding activity.
With its meticulously maintained gardens and clean environment, this compact park provides a safe haven for everyone - if you're a local or just passing through. The park's design balances natural beauty with urban accessibility.
Water Features
The main feature of this park is its interactive fountain that doubles as a splash pad. On hot Arizona days (and let's face it, there are plenty), this water feature becomes the star of the show. Kids dash through sprays of water while parents look on from the sidelines, grateful for this free cooling station.
If you're planning a visit specifically for some water fun, keep in mind the fountain operates from the second Saturday in April through the last Sunday in September, running from 9:00 am until sunset. During summer months, you can find this splash pad buzzing with the happy squeals of children.
Seating & Amenities
If you need a rest, there are plenty of seating options scattered throughout the park. These spots are ideal for enjoying takeout from nearby restaurants or simply watching the world go by with your morning coffee. When the desert sun gets intense, you'll find shade structures throughout the space.
Many visitors make the most of their park experience by bringing treats from surrounding shops - maybe an ice cream cone or a cold drink - to enjoy in this pleasant outdoor setting.
Community Events
The park really comes alive during its community events, particularly the live music performances that add a soundtrack to those magical Arizona evenings. These free concerts typically happen on Friday and Saturday nights, drawing crowds of locals and tourists alike.
There's a nice atmosphere when sitting under the open sky listening to music while surrounded by the Westgate district.
Recreation & Surroundings
Fountain Park works well both as a destination itself and as a complement to the Westgate Entertainment District. You can start your day with a peaceful moment in the park before heading to shop, dine, or catch a movie just steps away.
In the evenings, the area is nicely lit up and the cooler temperatures tend to bring out more visitors. Beyond the park's boundaries, you can find an impressive array of restaurants, bars, and unique entertainment options - from pottery making to escape rooms - making it easy to craft your perfect day out.
