Facts and practical information

Fountain at Rynek Wildecki or Boy under a willow - a bronze fountain located in Poznań in the square at Rynek Wildecki.

The fountain in the form of a street sculpture depicting a weeping willow and a boy stretching his hand towards the water was put into use in mid-July 2013. It is 2.5 m high. The pool with the sculpture is surrounded by benches. The author of the project was Jaroslaw Bogucki. The initiator of the creation was the Wilda Housing Estate Council. The first ideas in this area appeared already around 2003.

The fountain opening ceremony was attended by, among others: Ryszard Grobelny - president of the city, Grzegorz Ganowicz - president of the City Council and Adam Babicz - president of the Estate Council and one of the initiators of the construction of the facility. Ryszard Grobelny suggested the name Gzub z Wildy for the fountain.
