Madison Square Fountain, Drinking fountain in Madison Square Park, Manhattan, United States.

The cast iron fountain features multiple water spouts positioned at different heights, providing drinking water for both adults and children in the park.

Installed in 1872, the fountain represents early public health initiatives that aimed to provide clean drinking water alternatives to alcohol in New York City.

The fountain serves as a central meeting point within Madison Square Park, where local residents gather during lunch breaks and community events.

Located near multiple entrances of Madison Square Park, the fountain operates daily from dawn to dusk except during winter months to prevent pipe freezing.

The fountain incorporates separate water streams for humans and pets, demonstrating an early consideration for accommodating different park users in the 1800s.
