reflection pool

Ornamental water feature

A reflection pool is a shallow ornamental pool designed to mirror the sky, surrounding architecture, or monuments.

The still water creates a calm, symmetrical image: The Lincoln Memorial's reflection pool stretches toward the Washington Monument.

These pools appear in formal gardens, memorial sites, and civic spaces where contemplative atmosphere is desired.
