Beaumont Fountain
Named for its creator, Steve Beaumont, the Beaumont Fountain at Chateau Avalon is the largest structural fountain in Kansas City, a city known for fountains. The fountain took a year to build and was dedicated in August 2006.[1] Featuring French, Spanish, and Italian influences, the fountain draws its inspiration from the Fontaine De Mers at the Palace de Concorde in Paris. At night, the fountain is lit on all sides by color-shifting LED lights. Benches surround the fountain where onlookers can relax, and a private drive allows people to view the fountain without leaving their car. In the summer of 2020 the Beaumont Fountain underwent a complete renovation. It now is white concrete to contrast with the refinished bronze statues. To add additional flare and unique character the owner added gold leafing throughout the fountain.
