The Geyser at Malcolm W. Martin Memorial Park
The Gateway Geyser reaches approximately 630 feet (192 m). It was built on May 27, 1995, and the geyser comes on at noon, 3 pm and 6 pm. The geyser is powered by three 800-horsepower pumps; the Gateway Geyser can blast 8,000 gallons of water a minute. Four smaller fountains that erupt 100 feet into the air surround the main geyser, symbolizing the Mississippi, Missouri, Meramec, and Illinois Rivers.
