You are now at the main entrance of the Public Park. This Victorian-style ornamental drinking fountain is Listed by Historic Scotland as a Category B cast iron structure. It was built by the Lion Foundry of Kirkintilloch and placed in the Kings Park in 1934. It was restored in 2006 through funding by Friends of Kings Park and Stirling City Heritage Trust.

A low box hedge and flower borders have been planted around this fountain to form a mini-parterre garden. The very attractive copper beech tree located near this fountain was planted for the semi-jubilee of George V in 1937.
