Description






Positioned at Plaza de Balboa along El Prado outside the Fleet Science Center, the fountain sits framed by neighboring museums and cultural institutions. It is named in tribute to Mrs. Frank (Bea) Evenson, organizer of the Committee of 100 founded in 1967 to preserve Balboa Park's Spanish Colonial architecture. For visitors making their way through the Prado, it remains a familiar photo stop noted for its architecture and relaxing atmosphere.
