"Fun fountain, area questionable"
The Uncle Wilbur fountain typically is turned on after Memorial Day weekend (if the city budget allows) and is staffed with one lifeguard, presumably to stop roughhousing, since it's hard to imagine how one could drown here. The music and the fountain is fun to watch and splash in, but the park it's attached to is downright creepy.

"Nice, laidback park"
This is Colorado Springs' first park. It has shuffleboard course, a nice playground area, a cute fountain, and plenty of room for picnics. My family enjoys going to this park when we want to have a nice shady picnic outdoors. My boys really enjoy playing on the playground :)

"Summertime fun in the fountain!"
A fun place to play during the summer. The fountain runs every half an hour, usually from May to September. There are also plenty of places to walk to nearby, statues to see, shops and restaurants, right in the hear of downtown. Colorado Springs has some of the nicest city parks of any city I have ever visited, and Acacia park is no exception.
