Great park to relax! It has a huge fountain towards the entrance: great for kids to play in or to dip your feet in :-) The arch is also a beautiful sight, resembling the Arc de Triomphe in Paris!
Defined by its giant white arch, the park is best known for its chess games, gorgeous fountain, and live musicians. It acts as a meeting ground for NYU students, artists, and neighborhood regulars.
Love everything about this place because it's just perfectly New York. Sit around the fountain, people watch some crazies, and enjoy an impromptu show by whatever talented musicians happen to hang by.
get on the bridge beside it and take a look from there: you’ll see the fountain, the lake, the trees, the city in the background and the boathouse. Read more.
A beautiful fountain near a beautiful underpass, a lake with rowboats & street performers! A great central meeting place as it's close to everything else in Central Park.
Yes the fountain is nice and the ceiling is amazing, but let's not forget the FRESCOES!
the new fountain is amazing, specially on a hot summer's night
Nothing beats sitting by the fountain. Best spot in all of Manhattan (I'm biased because it's my neighborhood) Relax, and do some people-watching.
In the summer time, grab some gelato from a nearby vendor and walk around the plaza. Be sure to snap a photo at the fountain and walk around to experience the finest cultural center in NYC.
So many gorgeous and iconic performance spaces. Don't miss the fountain shows in the summer!

The fountain cycles through a water show every hour, but beware if you're sitting on the marble edges as the water shoots up very fast and you can (and will) get wet!

I could lie by this fountain for hours :)
