If you live in Colorado Springs, then you probably have heard of Uncle Wilbur's Fountain, located in downtown area, in Acacia Park. If you haven't, you are missing a treat. If you have plans to visit Colorado Springs, make it a part of your plan to stop for a refreshing, entertaining surprise. The fountain made it's debut on the Southwest corner of Acacia Park in 2001. Since it's opening, it has provided wonderful entertainment for both kids and adults from across the country. Just the site of the huge ball begs further investigation. With 52 pop up jets on the floor and over 200 widely unpredictable streams of water coming from everywhere, fiber optic lights of all colors and the wonderful music that Uncle Wilber plays, the fountain is delightful. If all of that were not enough to bring you to the fountain, it is a must see to be close to the dome at the half hour marker. The sky blue dome starts to rise and Uncle Wilber comes to life. With his pet monkey "Spot" spinning around and a waterfall cascading from the half ball shaped dome, Uncle Wilber appears with his tuba to give several rousing scores to the waiting crowd. The squeals of delight from the children, when the dome starts to rise, echo through the park. If you are willing to plunge beneath the ice cold Springs waterfall, you can get the answer to the "water-themed" riddle beneath the dome. Uncle Wilber's Fountain was the vision of Kat and Bob Tudor, owners of Smokebrush Center for Arts and Theater in Colorado Springs. Kat Tudor spoke with me about her feelings in the planning stages. "We have been a part of Colorado Springs and the Arts District for many years. We felt we should invest in the future of Colorado Springs. We wanted to give something great to this wonderful city." Kat said they spent lots of time planning and doing research. After going from one scenic waterfall or river to another, they created the concept that became "Uncle Wilber". Fun, fanciful,and unpredictable were the keywords to describe their unique concept. After deciding on several basics ideas, they wanted to include their theater audiences to pick the final design. Originally "Plugged Leak Fountain" seemed to be the winner. This theme was several plumbers appearing to be frantically repairing lots of pipes, that were spouting water in all directions. After several trash cans of paper, the fountain was finally modified into "Uncle Wilber". The naming of the fountain came from one of Colorado Springs most beloved citizens. Wilber Fulker-Principal of Colorado Springs Deaf and Blind School, was Bob Tudor's Uncle and he played the tuba. Songs that are played today are songs that Bob had heard his uncle play many times. With his(he didn't really have one) pet monkey "Spot", Uncle Wilber continues to play and entertain through the wonderful imagination of the Tudors. The Tudor's retained their creative control over the fountain and donated it to the City of Colorado Springs. When it was placed in the park, they were there to oversee every phase of installation. Shining the beautiful piece of art was the final hug before presenting it to the public to enjoy. Uncle Wilber is a shining example of Colorado Springs "hometown spirit". Any visit to Colorado Springs, should include this wonderful stop. During the summer, Acacia Park holds several concerts a week, during the lunch hour. Hot temperatures, good bands playing and Uncle Wilber for intermittent concerts equate to wonderful times. Take some time to visit "Uncle Wilber". It is a fun time for all ages. Below is the schedule for Uncle Wilber. The Uncle Wilber Fountain plays the end of May through mid August. The fountain pop-jet area will operate 10:00 a.m.-10:00 p.m., daily. Uncle Wilber performs every 30 minutes, Sundays-Thursdays, 11:00 a.m.-7:00 p.m. and Fridays and Saturdays, Wilber plays 11:00 a.m.-9:00 p.m. Access is free. |
