Lovejoy Fountain Park, Urban park in downtown Portland, United States
The park spans 1.11 acres and features concrete terraces with water flowing over multiple steps into gathering basins for public interaction.
Constructed in 1966, the park honors Asa Lawrence Lovejoy, who participated in a coin flip that determined Portland's name over Boston.
Lawrence Halprin designed the fountain to replicate the natural waterfalls and streams found in Oregon's Cascade Mountain Range.
Visitors can access the park daily from 5 AM to midnight through the entrance at Southwest 3rd Avenue and Harrison Street.
The copper-clad wooden lattice pavilion, created by Charles Moore and William Turnbull Jr, stands as an architectural centerpiece within the park.
