Details
This beautiful waterfront park is anchored at both ends with attractive fountains. The Waterside Landing fountain is designed as an interactive fountain for kids of all ages! With a field of 28 water spray jets, reaching heights of 12, the fountain creates a fun atmosphere for water play, and the fountain plaza is complemented by lighting for evening programs. The North Gate fountain, located adjacent to the Half Moone Cruise Terminal, features a Norfolk mermaid sculpture set within fountains of water, and surrounded by a seating wall for public enjoyment. A variety of public art elements are placed throughout the park, including the Armed Forces Memorial, the Homecoming statue, a restored 19th century cannon retrieved from the river, a large Navy anchor, and a new installation of tiled images capturing Norfolk's military and maritime past.
