Friendship Fountain, Large fountain in Downtown Jacksonville, United States.
The fountain features three concentric rings of water jets within a 200-foot diameter basin that holds 500,000 gallons of water in St. Johns River Park.
Constructed in 1965 under architect Taylor Hardwick's design, the structure earned recognition as the world's largest and tallest fountain of its time.
The structure received its name through a Rotary Club member's suggestion, reflecting the organization's commitment to fostering community connections through friendship.
Visitors can experience water shows daily from 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM, with special illuminated performances at 7:00, 8:00, and 9:00 PM.
Three powerful pumps propel 17,000 gallons of water per minute through multiple nozzles, creating water streams that reach heights of 120 feet.
