Lula’s Veterans Park features a fountain that’s very popular on a hot summer day. The fountain’s decking is wearing out and needs repairs. The good news is the $30,000 work will be done in the winter, when the fountain won’t be operating anyway.
After years of cooling off fun seekers looking for a reprieve from the summer heat, Lula’s downtown water fountain needs a break of its own. Decking around the popular attraction at Veterans Park, which is at the corner of Main and Athens streets, “is beginning to rise and fall and is not staying level,” Mayor Milton Turner said. “So, for safety reasons, we thought we’d look at reengineering it and redesigning it.”
