Apart from adding to the general aesthetic of the park, the fountains around the perimeter of the center pond serve a great role in the flood reduction of the area. In the photo above, you may notice the large black rectangle built into the wall of the pond, this is a water entrance. Above the fountain, there are a lot of grates for water to drain into, which lead down to openings like the one on the wall of the fountain. After water enters the park, it then travels down one of the many water ways leading to the center pond. The video above shows water coming out of a different fountain and traveling down a waterway to the pond.
