Bea Evenson Fountain, Modernist fountain in Balboa Park, San Diego, United States.
The Bea Evenson Fountain features water jets that spray up to 20 feet high at the east end of El Prado in Balboa Park.
Architect Homer Delawie designed this fountain in 1972 to honor Beatrice Barker Evenson, who moved from Oregon to San Diego in 1924.
The fountain commemorates Bea Evenson's creation of The Committee of 100 in 1967, which focused on restoring Balboa Park's Spanish Colonial buildings.
Visitors can find the fountain adjacent to the Reuben H. Fleet Space Theater, serving as a central meeting point in Balboa Park.
The Committee of 100, founded by Bea Evenson, grew from its initial members to over 1,500 people dedicated to park preservation.
