I believe I have a true story from that exact park. (That bench wasn't there, tho).

If that's the same fountain (somewhere in Vondel Park):

We were sitting on a normal bench, just having had a smoke and were kinda zoned out. Looking out at the calm surface of the water.

Then suddenly something huge started moving UNDER the water - then cascades of water came blasting out through the surface.

YES, a certain uneasiness occured. Of course.

But we quite quickly realized it was the coolest motherfucking fountain we ever had seen! Large metalic parts of the fountain rose out of the water like beasts, twisting and turning, and spreading the water-jets in all kinds of surprising ways and directions.

From hiding under the surface - to givning us Inter-Railers juust that extra afternoon-kick in Amsterdam.
