The Fountains of Kansas City

Ilus W. Davis Fountain

Ilus W. Davis Fountain

The mall across from City Hall was named after the man who served as mayor of Kansas City during the 1960s and is associated with city growth and progress. The park encompasses a north-south axis between City Hall and the Federal Courthouse and adds softness and color to the government district, often referred to as the Civic Mall.

Fountains by Location

Harold D. Rice Memorial Fountain

Kansas City Metro Area

Kansas City’s unique and varied water sculptures and statuary do more than give our neighborhoods and public spaces vitality and a special sense of place. Each fountain commemorates and celebrates the visions, deeds, and generosity of generations of Kansas Citians who helped make so many of our collective wishes come true.

River Market, Downtown KC to Liberty Memorial

Start your fountain tour where Kansas City was first established, down in the historic River Market. Once the oldest incorporated district, the River Market is now a vigorous and exciting neighborhood with major attractions like the City Market, our area’s largest farmers’ market bringing “Farm to Table” produce and goods, the Arabia Steamboat Museum, where you’ll find your first fountain, and where the Kansas City Streetcar starts.

Midtown Fountains

Many of Kansas City’s Midtown fountains are tributes in remembrance of those who worked tirelessly to better their community, those who vowed to protect their community, and those who made the ultimate sacrifice.

Many of Kansas City’s most famous fountains and sculptures are found on the Country Club Plaza, one of the nation’s first suburban shopping districts and a veritable outdoor museum of Romantic Spanish architecture and European art.

Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art

The Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art arose from the instincts and ambitions of two private individuals who shared the dream of providing a public art museum for Kansas City and the surrounding region.
