À l'époque, l'un des besoins essentiels des enfants était le lait frais. Malheureusement, une série de scandales et d'épidémies de choléra ont placé la production laitière de la ville sous un nuage de suspicion. Pour lever les soupçons et répondre aux besoins en produits laitiers de la population, la ville a fourni un endroit où les familles pouvaient trouver un approvisionnement prêt en lait frais lorsqu'elles se rendaient au parc. Ainsi, la laiterie a été construite. Aujourd'hui, la laiterie sert de centre d'accueil général et fournit au public des informations sur la conception de Central Park, les événements et les programmes actuels du parc.

43

Angel of the Waters - la première grande œuvre d'art public de la ville commandée à une femme - fait référence à l'évangile de Jean, qui décrit un ange bénissant la piscine de Bethesda et lui conférant des pouvoirs de guérison. Le lys dans sa main gauche représente la pureté, et les quatre figures entourant le piédestal ci-dessous signifient la paix, la santé, la pureté et la tempérance.

The Dairy Visitor Center and Gift Shop

Back in time, one of the critical needs of children was for fresh milk. Unfortunately, a series of scandals and cholera outbreaks placed the dairy production of the city under a cloud of suspicion. To lift suspicion and fulfill the Dairy needs of the people, the city provided a place where families could find a ready supply of fresh milk when traveling to the park. Thus, the dairy was built. Today, the Dairy serves as a general visitor center and provides the public with information on the design of Central Park, current park events and programs.

Central Park's Literary Walk

This quarter-mile promenade is flanked by towering American elm trees. A stroll along the Mall can be a transcendent experience, precisely what Olmsted and Vaux envisioned for the Park’s only formal promenade. The elegant path is surrounded by North America’s largest remaining stand of American elms, whose interlocking branches create a stained-glass effect as sunlight trickles to the ground.

Conservatory Water

This ornamental pond was originally constructed in 1858 as a reflecting pool for a glass conservatory, but the plan for the structure was abandoned. Instead, in the tradition of Parisian parks, it became a playground for model boats—and, consequently, one of the Park’s most beloved children’s attractions.

Bethesda Fountain

At 26 feet high and 96 feet in diameter, this fountain is one of the largest in the City. Created by sculptor Emma Stebbins, it commemorates the 1842 opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which brought fresh water from Westchester County into New York City and ended the cholera epidemic. Angel of the Waters—the City’s first major piece of public art commissioned from a woman—references the gospel of John, which describes an angel blessing the Pool of Bethesda and giving it healing powers. The lily in her left hand represents purity, and the four figures surrounding the pedestal below signify peace, health, purity, and temperance. The carriage will stop by the Bethesda Fountain, you will be able to have a short walk to the fountain and take pictures.
