Funds flow to fix park fountains

Money meant to spruce up Golden Gate Park has predominantly flowed to upgrades at the Music Concourse, and now more than $1 million more will go toward fixing four fountains.

The upgrades to the area, which lies between the de Young Museum and the California Academy of Sciences, began in 2005, and at least $9.9 million has been poured into projects that include widening the walkways, planting trees, fixing lighting, paving paths and restoring the historic bandshell.
