Fun Facts

Originally, it was a watering trough for horses when it was installed in 1860, serving as a rest stop for carriages in Central Park.

The fountain was designed by Jacob Wrey Mould, who also co-designed the Bethesda Terrace, and features intricate Moorish architectural details.

It has appeared in several films and TV shows, including the iconic opening scene of the TV show 'Friends'.

Its location on a gentle hill provides a picturesque view of the surrounding landscape, making it an ideal spot for relaxation.

In 1998, the Central Park Conservancy restored the fountain to its original glory, ensuring its preservation for future generations.
