(Otto Mation) Posted February 12, 2019 Author Share Posted February 12, 2019 elnina999 has added a photo to the pool: First opening to visitors in the summer of 1979, Tranquillity Park was officially dedicated on the 10th anniversary of the historic lunar landing. On bronze plaques placed along the main entrance, the first words transmitted by Neil Armstrong from the Moon, "Houston, Tranquillity Base here. The Eagle has landed," are written in 15 languages. A replica of one of the footprints left on the Moon by Neil Armstrong is also on display inside the park. A two-block-long oasis of water and walkways, the mounds and depressions throughout the park are meant to represent the cratered lunar surface, and the park's 32-level Wortham Fountain features towering stainless steel cylinders designed to resemble the Apollo's rocket boosters.
