Plans to improve Dundee City Square are moving forward, with discussions underway about the future of the area’s long-standing fountains.
The fountains, which have been switched off since August 2024, were originally taken out of use following repeated issues with anti-social behaviour. Since then, the space has remained dry, prompting conversations about how it could be refreshed for the future.
Now, ideas are being explored to enhance the square, with potential changes including new planting and design features aimed at creating a more welcoming and visually appealing city centre space.
The move forms part of a wider effort to ensure Dundee’s central public areas continue to evolve, particularly as the city heads into the busy summer months where footfall across the city centre typically increases.
While no final decision has been confirmed on whether the fountains will return, the focus is firmly on improving the overall look and feel of the square for both residents and visitors.
Dundee City Square remains one of the city’s most recognisable gathering spots, sitting at the heart of the city centre and connecting key landmarks, shops and transport links.
Further updates on the future of the space are expected as discussions continue.
