Because it's part of the 40 acres and I despise TU. Whatever they want they get at the expense of the town, then the developers, then City Hall, then the wealthy, etc,etc. Run of the mill citizens will need a 2nd job or rent controls to be able to stay here. Austin deserves what Bastrop got a few years back, and San Francisco experienced in l908. And since the Texas University has a bovine animal for their mascot, maybe Catherine "Cate" O'Leary and Chicago circa 1871 would be more appropriate. Karma speaking hypothetically of course.

Iconic landmark of the University of Texas at Austin, and where the graduation ceremonies are held. Sometimes the fountain has water, but not all the time. Sometimes the horses spout water, sometimes not. If you're a photographer, you probably would want to scout out prior to planning your session there. It's a peaceful place to read a book or study, or just relax.

I spent a good time admiring the fountain sculpture cast by Pompeo Coppini in the 1930's and while it was supposed to be a monument for the Confederate cause and ended up being dedicated to the soldiers of WWI, it nonetheless displays tolkienesque accents with allegorical figures riding horses in frozen movement. It took an Italian sculptor to display such mastery.

This monument was erected to honor the "Sons and Daughters of the University of Texas" who "gave their lives to their country" during World War I. Beautiful monument to remember the sacred sacrifice by those who fought for freedom from tyranny and oppression.

Beautiful fountain at UT. This is a popular and pretty iconic location to take pictures on campus. You'll find everyone from graduating seniors to tourists taking pictures. It's also right below South Mall which I would recommend checking out if you just want to chill out and relax.

Beautiful experience. Allows you to have multiple vantage points of the city and its offerings such as the tower and capital. The display at the fountain is to behold. Enjoy!

As a photographer I love the Littlefield Fountain. It provides a beautiful spot to take photos on the south lawn, the people in the area are friendly, and there's lots nearby to do photos with. Parking is limited so you should get that in mind. More

Nice area to walk for a small bit. The WW memorial was so hidden, you would have walked right past it without realizing.

This is a classical and historical fountain accompanied with a little bit scary status. However, when walking along with them, you are able to feel glorious history of the University of Texas at Austin. Always keep calm and love longhorn!

It's a really nice fountain in the middle of Downtown Austin and on the outskirts of the UT campus. It is quite beautiful and a wonderful place to sit and think or do a bit of work or reading. It's also a perfect spot for photos!

Went to Littlefield Fountain while taking some UT Graduation pictures with my wife for a friend of ours. My wife is a fantastic photographer but some water features would be nice and make this fountain stand out.

Historic and iconic fountain with the famous Tower that represents the University of Texas Austin campus. It is the center of the main campus and is a walking distance to the DKR stadium. Can't missed it!

Have been coming to this spot to take pictures for years! 100% recommend checking it out if you’re one to like a pretty backdrop! Plus the tower is amazing to get a view of in the background hook em!

Nice fountain in the heart of UT's campus. If you're wandering around the University, the area surrounding this has some picturesque views of drooping trees, old statues, and the famous tower.

Texas fans gathered Littlefield fountain.....was a blast

Reading online, it looked like this place was a fountain. I came here and I can confirm it s a fountain. If you want a fountain, here is a fountain. Five stars.

I assume that no-one believes me if I say that #nofilter but it’s true. There are two photos taken two different time without using any filters. Hook ‘Em …

Nice little spot to visit. One can have a decent look at the UT tower and even Texas Capitol here. Crystal clear water. Big grassy lawn behind the fountain.

Beautiful landscaping with the lovely sound of the water fountain. This is a nice place to enjoy lunch outside or meet up with friends between classes.

Great spot for photos, nice view to the capital from behind.

Great place to take graduation photos with the UT tower in the background. The water is shallow enough to wade in if you're feeling adventurous.

A Texas landmark and one of the best places in Austin. They just upgraded it with gorgeous flowers. Great for family pictures.

It's the point in the city that allows to view the capitol and the UT tower at the same time. It's a beautiful place to visit.

If you’re touring Austin and want to briefly experience UT or get 1 good photo of the University, drive to this spot.

Very crowded on Saturday. Fun things for kids to do with street vendors and arcades. Bathroom wait times are long.

Love this fountain! Just sitting by the water seemed to always make my bad days better.
