The mirror pool at City Park will be drained this week as part of the final scheduled testing on site before the grand opening in March.
A Bradford Council spokesman said: “There will be a complete assessment of the storage tank, water system and mirror pool carried out this week as part of the preparation for completion and handover.
“The fountains and pool will not be operating throughout the week.”
The Council is keen to show off the city centre public space, which features a 4,000sq ft mirror pool with 100 fountains, including one that reaches 100ft, during a free event on Saturday, March 24.
The action-packed day will feature different parts of the six-acre park, including Centenary Square, the new grass-topped pavilion build- ing, City Hall and the BBC Big Screen.
Attractions will include professional parkour athletes, or free runners, carrying out tricks and jumps throughout the park, as well as music acts and street theatre artists all performing around the mirror pool and interacting with the laser lighting artwork.
