VIDEO: Bayfront Children's Fountain reopens

The Steigerwaldt-Jockey Children’s Fountain at Bayfront Park reopened Friday, after renovations due to a faulty mechanical part, according to a city of Sarasota news release.

"Things like this are the reason we come on vacation," said Neill Collins, who brought his family to the park Tuesday.

The fountain, which costs the city roughly $66,000 to maintain annually, will be open from 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. through Labor Day, weather permitting. Winter hours are from 10 p.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
