DESCRIPTION: approx. 5-foot high by 11-foot diameter six-sided concrete fountain faced with stone block, ceramic tile and glass mosaics, and bronze sculptures, surrounded by an 11-foot diameter pool faced with stone, with p.m. lighting
Artist Lance Jost partnered with landscape architect Yvonne English for this fountain's design and the sculptural and mosaic components. The memorial fountain was dedicated December 5, 2011 and pays tribute to Dana Point arts advocate Mary Ellen Thomas (1930-2008). The fountain project was funded by both the City of Dana Point and a $40,000 bequest from the Mary Ellen Thomas Estate. Its placement at the center of La Plaza Park serves as a public art focal point for the park space, from which can be seen the nearby building-mounted public artwork "Pelicans Over Surfers" at the Hobie Surf Shop.

- three cast bronze sculptures of surfing figures
