If you are walking past Pioneer Courthouse with children in town, they'll make sure you stop and admire the little bronze animals that play in small fountains along Yamhill. Artist Georgia Gerber created the little menagerie in 1986 and it includes eternally paddling ducks, upright otters that can't seem to believe what they see when they look at you and a wonderful Mama bear fishing in the fountain for her two playful cubs. It is a real smile-inducer and a favorite among the locals.

This could be better but when I went there was no water in any of the fountains. Much smaller than I was expecting. If you happen to be near it, fine, but definitely don’t go out of your way.
MoreThe varied animals was nice ducks seals beavers , otters bears . They are all in water tubes on edge or sidewalk
MoreOn both sides of the building. Clever idea, nice bronze sculptures. Some are in the water on the ledge and in the pools. Nice surprise, great idea whoever thought of them, and made them.
MoreIf you happen to be near these sculptures (right across from Pioneer square), check them out as you walk by, but they're not worth going out of your way to see. Cute in the best and worst ways, not much to hold on to or remember.
MoreNothing better than a cool pool on a hot day. Sit with the bears on the edge and run your hand in the water as the breeze rustles the leaves overhead.
