The fountains are back on
Every year, we ensure that the fountains are spraying in our ponds by Easter, adding extra festive cheer to the occasion.
In November, we remove the fountains from the ponds to prevent the pumps from freezing. During the winter, we clean and refurbish the pumps as needed. The following fountains are located in our municipality’s large ponds:
- Burgemeester Damenpark Geleen (photo above)
- Fortunapark Geleen
- Roeivijver Sittard (photo below)
- Eendenvijver Sittard
- Donatusvijver Sittard
- Hof van Onthaasting Sittard
