Cherry Hill, Fountain in Central Park, Manhattan, United States
The Cherry Hill Fountain stands at the center of a circular plaza, featuring a granite dome and bluestone basin measuring twenty feet in diameter.
Constructed in 1860, the fountain originally functioned as a watering trough for horses traversing through Central Park during the nineteenth century.
The fountain and surrounding area serve as a gathering place for celebrations, including weddings, birthday parties, and corporate events throughout the year.
The fountain operates daily and remains accessible via the 72nd Street entrance to Central Park, offering clear views of the adjacent lake.
Eight frosted glass lamps and a golden spire crown the fountain, incorporating decorative Minton tiles within its granite structure.
