Молочний центр для відвідувачів і сувенірний магазин

У минулому однією з критичних потреб дітей було свіже молоко. На жаль, серія скандалів і спалахів холери поставила молочне виробництво міста під хмару підозр. Щоб зняти підозри та задовольнити потреби людей у молочних продуктах, місто передбачило місце, де сім’ї могли знайти готовий запас свіжого молока під час подорожі до парку. Так побудували молокозавод. Сьогодні Dairy служить загальним центром для відвідувачів і надає громадськості інформацію про дизайн Центрального парку, поточні події та програми парку.

Консерваторія Вода

Цей декоративний ставок спочатку був побудований у 1858 році як відбиваючий басейн для скляної оранжереї, але від плану споруди відмовилися.

Фонтан Бетесда

Заввишки 26 футів і діаметром 96 футів цей фонтан є одним із найбільших у місті. Створений скульптором Еммою Стеббінс, він вшановує відкриття 1842 року Кротонського акведуку, який доставив прісну воду з округу Вестчестер до Нью-Йорка та поклав край епідемії холери. «Ангел вод» — перший значний витвір мистецтва міста, створений на замовлення жінки — посилається на Євангеліє від Іоанна, де описано, як ангел благословляє купальню Віфезда й наділяє її цілющою силою. Лілія в її лівій руці символізує чистоту, а чотири фігури, що оточують п'єдестал внизу, символізують мир, здоров'я, непорочність і помірність. Карета зупиниться біля фонтану Бетесда, ви зможете трохи прогулятися до фонтану та сфотографуватися.

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.

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.
