Three hundred yards from Pettygrove Park, find this favorite fountain named for Asa Lovejoy, the railroad developer who lost the coin toss to name Portland. Wading in most of Portland's fountains is permitted. Here, in both the upper and lower pool, as well as steps and stepping stones, the wading is great for cooling your toes. Bay area architect, Lawrence Halprin designed the water attraction. There are no fees to visit or wade in the fountain.
