About the Venue

The Tom Hughes Civic Center North Fountain is a downtown interactive fountain that works well for short city-center play breaks, especially around farmers market and event days. Hillsboro lists the south fountain as permanently closed, but the north fountain remains part of the city's seasonal water-play lineup. Expect a compact civic-space experience rather than a park-style sprayground.
