Rabobank Arena Fountain Replacement

Bakersfield, CA

PACE designed a 1,400-square-foot round fountain feature to replace the existing splash pad in front of the Rabobank Arena. The City was interested in a more traditional fountain design with a permanent pool of water. The new fountain consists of 12 arching jets 7 feet tall, one central jet 10 feet tall, and six bubblers 7 feet tall. Each bubbler contains its own color-changing light-emitting diode (LED) light to create nighttime visual effects.

PACE utilized the existing pump station for new mechanical equipment to reduce costs. The structural design included abandonment of the surge tank sitting directly below the new fountain. During construction, the commemorative bricks and tiles surrounding the fountain were preserved.

Key Features:

• Fountain renovation
• Reused existing pump station
• Plumbing, electrical, and structural renovation
