Prague 8: Opening of fountains and drinking fountains
19.05.2022 9:15 | Press Release
On the plots entrusted to the administration and maintenance of the Prague 8 district, there are technical water features that make it easier for citizens to stay in parks and playgrounds.
“Every year, the city district strives for a timely start with regard to climatic conditions. To run all elements gradually, each element is checked for proper functionality at the same time, and immediate repairs are provided if necessary, ”says Mayor Ondřej Gros (ODS).
The city district manages and maintains a total of 14 water features, including fountains, fountains, drinking fountains and water play elements on playgrounds. By May 20, 10 water features will be launched and put into operation, such as the fountain and drinking fountain on Karlínské náměstí, the fountain on Kobyliska shooting range, the drinking fountain on Sokolovská dog meadow, in Pod Plynojemem park or on the playground in Kaizlovy sady park. The other water elements will be operational by the end of next week. These are, for example, a drinking fountain and a play water element on the playground in Větrušická Street, a drinking fountain on a dog meadow in Famfulíkova Street and a fountain in Ládví.
The fountain in Ládví has undergone repairs in the last days, where damage often occurs during the winter. Repeated repairs have become an impulse to order a special cover, which will always be installed after the fountain is winterized, thus protecting the element from damage and vandal attacks.

Two weeks ago, new water play elements were put into operation at the playground in Thomayerovy sady. It is an element of a water workshop with a pump, which the children themselves enthusiastically tested. The playground also includes a drinking fountain, which is also in operation after spring service and repairs.
Reconstruction of the fountains at the Vychovatelna intersection is also being prepared.
The city district of Prague 8 also provides the operation of automatic irrigation, especially in revitalized parks, such as Karlínské náměstí Park, Kaizlovy sady Park and Sady in front of the Invalidovna, the park on Dr. V. Holý and the reverential area of the Kobylisk shooting range. At present, irrigation in these parks is in operation.
