Mission Bay’s Memorial Fountain will be switched back on this weekend after 19 months as water restrictions in Auckland are lifted.

But Auckland Council is reminding people not to splash about in the fountain, which is a memorial for the nephew of late Auckland mayor Sir Ernest Davis.

“We are very fortunate to have this stunning memorial located on our waterfront,” Ōrākei Local Board chair Scott Milne said.

“That we are now able to turn it on again is great news, and something we are sure many will be pleased to learn because the fountain really is an attraction that visitors from all over the city come to see.”

The fountain was built in 1947 as a memorial to Trevor Moss Davis, the nephew of late Auckland mayor Sir Ernest Davis.

Ōrākei Local Board chair Scott Milne said visitors need to be considerate when heading to Selwyn Reserve.

“It I s also a good opportunity to remind people that we need to be mindful and respectful of the fact that it is a memorial, and not a splash pad or paddling pool,” he said.

The fountain was turned off in February 2020 as Auckland entered a drought.

It was turned on briefly in March for the America’s Cup finals, but has mostly been empty for the past 19 months.

I’m a volunteer with a humanitarian aid group based in Auckland (www.onenessheart.org... ) and one of our colleagues, an ICU nurse working in the Emergency Rooms in a hospital in Queens, NY, recently proposed sharing artistic posters and banners with messages of hope and encouragement to institutions around the world, especially to institutions serving children, like schools and pediatric hospitals.

The organization is also using these banners and posters to support health professionals for their tireless contributions during this challenging planetary moment. Reading these positive affirmations has inspired countless people who see them and reflect on them, letting these small gems enter their hearts and re-inspire their lives.

Please feel free to contact me anytime for a full catalogue of these paintings and peace-themed quotations poster for your selection. We have these posters available in high resolution images. Your can print these posters yourself or we can print to size. We are very happy to offer these to your organisation at no cost, for placement wherever you deem appropriate.
