Winter Shutdown of Outdoor Water Fountains in Addison Parks Begins December 4

The Parks Department has scheduled the shutdown and winterization of all 30 outdoor water fountains starting December 4. This process is not as simple as just shutting off the water. Staff must insulate many parts of the fountains to keep them from freezing and damaging the equipment during cold weather. The fountains will remain inactive until the week of April 1, 2024.

During this period, we suggest the community bring their own water when visiting Addison's parks, including the dog parks and trails, throughout the winter months.
