Myriad Gardens

That's where the new park being built with MAPS3 money comes into play. Hopefully they focus more on people wanting to ride bikes, a good run, or a 4 on 4 football game with friends, Etc..

Are the renovations complete?

Are the renovations complete?

No. I was down there Saturday and the Children's area was still not open, the thunderstorm thingy was still being worked on, the restaurant area was still being worked on, etc...

...and most importantly...no fish. :-(

Sad the children's fountain didn't open this record heat breaking summer as expected.

I was at the Myriad Gardens today and noticed a coulpe things. First, they were testing the big ceramic water fountain for children and it was very cool. First it "rained" water down along with water coming from the ground then it fogged up the area... Should be a ton of fun for kids. You can see a picture here (I couldn't figure out how to make the image show up... help?): http://www.flickr.com/photos/24570805@N03/6183268469/.

I had one concern though. When I where along the path where the tiles that light up are located I noticed how many of them were loose. If you walked on a lot of them they moved and tilted. They didn't seem sturdy at all. It seem unwise to have areas open to walking when they're like that. Hopefully they're still working on setting them in right. Anyone know?

This way it shows the title of the image and the photographers name.

Thanks. It worked...

That looks awesome. Better eat it up while it's still warm.

I went by last night and they had the children's fountain lit in I guess LED lights or something. Same thing that every other structure in the Myriad Gardens has.

I have a photo of that, but am a perpetual fail at uploading. If someone wants to upload if for me, I'll send the photo their way.

Yeah, that's gotta be one of the coolest things I've ever seen. I didn't notice the water lit up but the rest of it was like in the picture and it was holier-than-thou.

[David]

That is pretty awesome looking.

David, it matches your Avatar. Which also reminds me of the movie Avatar. It's an Avatar kind of day. ;-)

Does it have to be kids only to have fun in there?

[FritterGirl]

Not at all. It's right there in the open, so we expect kids "of all ages" to join right in the fun.

[CuatrodeMayo]

Stunning photograph. Absolutely stunning.

So...when can I play in it?

[iMAX386]

How often does that thing cycle? Over and over, or on a schedule like beginning of the hour? Just wanted to make sure we were gonna see it if we went at a certain time.

What are your guys' plans for it during the winter?

Pretty good aerial view, I didn't know Peter Parker picked up residence in this city.

[MDot]

I absolutely love the way it looks from the sky, even though it's sorta rare for the average human to see it from there I still love it.
