Bethesda Fountain - New York

Jess B.

Bethesda Fountain, a breathtaking fountain in Central Park in the heart of New York, is truly awe-inspiring. I admire it, and although I visited during winter, the fountain's serenity still shone through despite the water being turned off. The overall ambiance was nothing short of magnificent and one-of-a-kind.

DROP AND GIVE ME 30 😭

This has gotta be one of the better fountains in North America. Easily one of the most iconic. It’s the Bethesda falls and we are all so happy that you are considering going.

One thing to keep in mind, this will be heavily populated. If you don’t like crowds…run…because this place is usually packed (also better if you don’t use it as a urinal. Tempting I know!) And it’s never people that you wanna be packed with. Just tourists and families.

With that being said, a lovely fountain and lovely spot to hang out. THANKS 💦

It's a beautiful fountain beside a huge pond. Both the fountain and the pond have ducks in them. It's so lively and wonderful, especially during the summer (which is when these pictures were taken). Find yourself an empty seat and immerse yourself in the beautiful sights (and perhaps forget your troubles, temporarily at least)

Pretty part of the central park, surrounded by pond, greenery and ancient building. We saw people getting pre-wedding shoots, there are also some food stalls, and it’s a must visit for the tourists. Crowded on the weekends but you could also find spots for a some private space and a lot of people bring their dogs to train.

Great spot with benches on the lake to rest and think and pray. This was an unusually warm 80 degree day in Fall. Beautiful next to Bethesda Fountain.

Favourite place in Central Park! Many facets to this area and had flashback from movies filmed here.
Mild amount of people selling items, picture perfect from any angle. Stroll around to see it all from different perspectives.

Lovely spot within the park. You go can first thing when it is quiet or later in the day when it is alive with families and musical performers. Both have their merits.

I love the Bethesda fountain! such an iconic spot and a great little walk through Central Park to get there. I have also seen it full of water but in any season it’s a great spot to visit. We stopped by to visit Em before Dimensions 20 Gauntlet at the Garden.
