“The dandelion fountain”, some call it. But this, my friends, is the Berger Fountain. The Berger Fountain has been a beloved landmark in Loring Park since 1975. It’s a favorite spot for wedding photos and a joyful place for children to splash around. The fountain’s design, with its multiple stems shooting out from the center, resembles a dandelion. This whimsical design is actually a copy of the El Alamein Memorial Fountain in Sydney, Australia. Ben Berger, a former parks commissioner, saw the fountain in Sydney and was so charmed he gifted a replica to Minneapolis. The fountain holds a special kind of magic. It’s not just a fountain, but a living memory, built with profits from the screening of “The Exorcist” at Berger’s chain of movie theaters. The Berger Fountain is a testament to the power of art and generosity in public spaces. Let its whimsical charm bring a smile to your face as you enjoy its presence here in Loring Park.
