Officials show off new fountain in Bellevue park

In Bellevue, there's a new addition to American Heroes Park.

KETV NewWatch 7 was there Wednesday morning as the city showed off a new fountain. It's the latest project at the 70-acre park, complete with special lighting at night.

Mayor Rita Sanders said it's important to showcase the special area.

"It is an entrance to the city of Bellevue and to actually Nebraska. This is where Nebraska begins," she said. "And so now we have what used to be a water treatment facility here on this site, and now we have a lake with a fountain for all the citizens to use."

The fountain and its maintenance are being paid for by the Bellevue Community Foundation.

More projects are planned for the park later this year.

Sanders said work to install a fishing dock and 300-seat amphitheatre will likely begin this fall.
