Princess Diana Fountain Reopens With Warnings

Share
From Times Wire Reports

Devotees of Princess Diana got their first look at the remodeled fountain built in her memory, now encircled with a fence fitted with signs warning against wading -- and a rougher bottom just in case someone does.

The $6.5-million fountain was closed July 22 after it became clogged with leaves and three people, including a child, slipped and were injured.

The fountain, designed by American architect Kathryn Gustafson and built of 545 blocks of Cornish granite, is an oval, roughly 260 feet by 165 feet. Water flows from the highest point down both sides. Visitors can sit on the edges.
