These places have drinking fountains in Ann Arbor. Many of the city drinking fountains have spouts for both humans and dogs.
An Ann Arbor drinking fountain on the Main Street sidewalk between Liberty and William.
Downtown
- Liberty Plaza
- At the corner of State and North University (one of the nozzles sprays water on unsuspecting passers-by)

- On the west side of Main Street, between Liberty and William
In Parks

- The Argo canoe livery
- The Argo canoe portage
- Gallup Park
- The community gardens northeast of Tappan Middle School
- At the play structure on the north edge of the Burns Park Playground
- In Rose White Park in Lower Burns Park
- Note there is NOT a drinking fountain in Bandemer Park because of its proximity to the railroad tracks.
Most are shut off for the winter (a season which, at locations further away from the equator, is the coldest of the year) so the pipes and pedestals and bowls don't explode, spewing watery shards of ice, metal, and trendy drinking fountain ceramic (if downtown) on salubrious sippers, which could happen, because dihydrogen-monoxide distends to dangerous dimensions during the frigid months. The fountain pipes, a liability in our litigious lives, also leave a slick of invisible ice, usually near busy streets and highly-trafficked paths. Beware.
