The Fountain at Cherry Hill in Central Park
Written by VacationIdea.com Travel Editors.
The Cherry Hill Fountain at Cherry Hill in Central Park was designed by Jacob Wrey Mould, Calvert Vaux's assistant, in 1860s.
The fountain features a sculpted bluestone basin, frosted glass globes for lighting, and golden ornaments at the fountain's top. In the middle of the fountain, black and golden cups overflow with water.
At the time of its creation, Cherry Hill was intended to be a scenic turn-around for carriages and the fountain a drinking fountain for horses. Today, Cherry Hill Fountain is surrounded by a circle of benches where visitors rest on their walk though Central Park.
