The Alexander the Great Fountain
Located in the parkette at the corner of Logan and Danforth The Fountain was officially opened on Wednesday, June 21, 1995. Designed by Planning and Development’s Architecture and Urban Design Division, the concrete fountain features a decorative urn in its centre and underwater lighting. The circular seating wall invites passers-by into Alexander The Great Parkette to relax and enjoy the soothing, re-circulating waters. Inlaid in the blue mosaic tiles on the fountain floor are four flying fish in black and white glass mosaic tile. The design is based on a fresco found at the Phylakopi Palace on the Island of Crete in Greece.
