While walking through Grand Circus Park, you notice one of Two fountains: The Alger memorial fountain on the east side of the park (near Comerica Park) and the Edison Memorial Fountain, shown here. This fountain was dedicated to the works of Thomas Edison on October 21, 1929.
The fountain has been turned on at various times this past year, possibly to conserve water. My favorite part of this fountain are the birds underneath the top of the fountain. Speaking of the birds, many of the birds that are in Grand Circus Park often frequent the fountain to keep cool or to get a cool drink on a hot day. The Plaque on the fountain reads " Erected by the people of the city of Detroit in commemoration of the achievements of Thomas Alva Edison in the realm of electricity. October Twenty-first in the year One Thousand Nine Hundred Twenty Nine".
