| The Pool of Reflections, incorporates
a series of five water ponds at stepped heights, with water flowing
from higher to lower levels to form a long cascading type pool.
The pool reflects the Unisphere and enhances the splendor of
the main promenade. It will remain after the Fair, as an enduring
feature of Flushing Meadow Park. The circulation is about 1,000
gallons of water per minute, and is illuminated by 320 underwater
fixtures, equally distributed under each of four weirs. |
