GRANT PARK — It's summer.
And in Georgia, that means nothing but h-e-a-t.
It's a complaint Raymond B. King, president and chief executive of Zoo Atlanta has heard often.
In response to questions about summertime sun, the zoo has installed misting stations throughout the property.
It also has free water stations.
Now, the zoo is looking at the kiddie set and unveiled its Splash Fountain near the children's playground
The Zoo unveiled the $450,000 project, done in conjunction with the Atlanta Fulton County Recreation Authority, Tuesday. It uses recycled water.
The water feature is similar to the one at Centennial Olympic Park in Downtown.
"We're always trying to add new things," King told East Atlanta Patch, explaining the fountain is designed to make effective use of an area of the zoo that wasn't use, as well as create another attraction option for patrons.
