Water Features ?

What water features (or wishing wells!!) have you got near you that are child friendly and unique pieces of sculpture?

I wish local councils, gardening/park groups and Child care organisations had the opportunity to commission more 'hands on ~ dip your toes in' sort of art displays!

This sundial water feature is in Plymouth city - Devon It has small interlocking running rivers to the right & left of the Dial... and I believe was part of the City Centre's regeneration programme (it's a little larger scale than I'm really talking about lol )

Our village has a lovely beaten up side road that floods when it rains and is perfect for paddling in - but I don't think that's quite what you had in mind!!!:rotfl: :blush: :raspberry LOL

LOL Miss Muffet .. no not quite .. but maybe the funding for 'art sculpting' may extend to dig your own pothole & wallow

Cybertwin a piccy would be fantastic .. if you find one, email me and we'll get a new thread in the 'water forum' going
