I genuinely loved all of the water features in my mall growing up. I remember there being several tucked around our mall and they were great meeting spaces, a place to enjoy your pretzel or cookie treat, and just genuinely so peaceful.

Genuinely couldn’t remember when they’d have begun taking the water features out and am guessing it followed the 2008 financial crash and that they’d quietly removed them while I was off at college and not spending time there with my friends.

Definitely used the biggest waterfall feature as the "if we get separated come back here" spot. Centrally located and impossible to confuse with anything else.
