Message from The Wanderbug

At the heart of Central Park's Bethesda Terrace lies the iconic Bethesda Fountain, featuring a stunning sculpture of an angel blessing the waters. It's one of the most beautiful spots in Central Park, and a great photo spot!

This fountain commemorates the opening of the Croton Aqueduct, which brought clean water to New York City in 1842. The angel's design symbolizes purity and healing, making it a beloved spot in the park for visitors to admire and reflect on the importance of clean water and public health.
