The Bethesda Fountain at the heart of Central Park welcomes hundreds of visitors each day to enjoy the view of the lake. The sculpture that tops it, Angel of Waters, was designed by Emma Stebbins in 1873 and is one of the most recognizable icons in the entire park. Originally an aqueduct fed the fountain which supplied fresh water to the city. The fountain has probably appeared in more movies than any monument in the park offering a romantic charm to cinematographers. Featured in the 1973, "Godspell", disciples splash joyously around in the pool. http://www.centralpark.com
