The garden’s focal point is the statue of Foam, located in the centre of a circular pool designed specifically for her. Charles d’Orville Pilkington Jackson, the sculptor of the equestrian statue of Robert the Bruce at Bannockburn, created Foam, a bronze water nymph, for the Glasgow Empire Exhibition in 1938. Other mythical creatures at the exhibition surrounded the statue, all sold except for Foam, which Pilkington Jackson kept. After his death, the statue was moved to Greenbank, the nearest garden to Bellahouston Park, where the exhibition occurred. The fountains that play on Foam as she ’dances’ create a tranquil atmosphere in the garden, where visitors can relax on one of the many benches.
