The fountain was unveiled by Lions District Governor, Anne Jones, Cowra Mayor Cr Bill West, Deputy Premier John Barilaro and Member for Cootamundra Katrina Hodgkinson MP.
Ms Jones said it was pleasing to see one of Lions’ centenary projects complete.
“Lions is celebrating 100 years and has been doing wonderful things for communities,” she said.
“This particular project was talked about for the last couple of years and it is really great to see that we have delivered it.
“I commend the Cowra Lion’s for what they have done.”
Deputy Premier John Barilaro said the country was lucky to have organisations like the Lions Club.
“Wherever I travel across the state the Lions club is there, they are the safety net for communities, they pick up the pieces where government isn’t there and it’s fantastic to see,” he said.
Cr West also agreed with the Deputy Premier, thanking Lions for the amount of work they perform in and around the community.
