Located at mid-Park on the north side of 72nd Street, Angel of the Waters Fountain at Bethesda Terrace was placed in the Park in 1873. Today the fountain is one of the favorite places in Central Park for wedding pictures and romantic walks.
The fountain features bronze figures in the middle, surrounded by a blue stone lower basin. Sculptor Emma Stebbins who created the fountain was the first woman to receive a sculptural commission in New York City.
