Bayliss Park & Veterans Plaza<br />
1st Ave. & Pearl St. • Bayliss Park has been a<br />
focal point <strong>of</strong> the downtown area since Samuel S.<br />
Bayliss donated the 2.15 acres in 1853. The park<br />
received a facelift and was rededicated in<br />
spring, 2007. Veterans Plaza, dedicated July<br />
4, 2003, was sculpted by famed artist John<br />
Lajba. The wall lists those who died or are<br />
missing in action from the Civil War through<br />
Desert Freedom. The fountain and surrounding<br />
area were designed by sculptor Brower Hatcher<br />
and landscaped by Dolores Silkworth.<br />
BAYLISS PARK<br />
Broadway Fountain<br />
Broadway & Pearl St. • The restored cast iron fountain was built<br />
in New York in 1890 and was once the centerpiece <strong>of</strong> Bayliss Park,<br />
the city’s oldest park. In May 2000, a dedication ceremony was<br />
held for the completely refurbished “Old Rusty”. An old-fashioned<br />
looking clock tower, lampposts, and flowerbeds have since joined<br />
the fountain area.<br />
