#project365 [day 75] NY City Hall Park
This 8.8-acre downtown park is the perfect spot for afternoon lunch meetings as well as people-watching—newlyweds coming from the new Manhattan Marriage Bureau are often seen strolling the grounds. The park is home to more than a dozen monuments, and its bike path leads to the Brooklyn Bridge. In 1999, a $34.6 million project not only added a central walkway and gardens but also helped to bring a restored Jacob Wrey Mould fountain back to the park from the Bronx's Crotona Park. Almost all other photos I could find of this fountain show it with flowing water, but I guess that because of the harsh winter they have cut off the water and treated it as a garden. The Bethesda fountain at Central Park was also dry at this time of the year.
