About the Venue

The Ozarks Stream and Fountain at Jordan Valley Park is Springfield's best-known downtown splash spot for casual summer cooling off. Families get a free interactive fountain area with hourly fountain shows, a large open plaza feel, and easy pairing with the rest of the park's play areas and greenway. It works especially well for mixed ages who want a short splash stop rather than a full pool day. Because it is an open-access urban park fountain, supervision and sun exposure matter more than at a fenced spray ground.
