Fountain Square, Cincinnati, Public square with central fountain in Downtown Cincinnati, United States.
The Tyler Davidson Fountain rises at the center of this square, surrounded by benches, trees, and ornate architectural features of downtown buildings.
The square emerged as a city centerpiece in 1871 with the installation of the bronze fountain, funded by businessman Henry Probasco in memory of his brother-in-law.
Throughout the year, the square transforms into an entertainment venue featuring concerts, movie screenings, markets, and seasonal celebrations for Cincinnati residents.
Located at the intersection of Fifth Street and Vine Street, the square provides public restrooms, seating areas, and free wireless internet for visitors.
During winter, the square converts into an ice skating rink where people glide beneath the illuminated fountain and surrounding skyscrapers.
