Josh W. • January 10, 2011"...came to Central Park in '47 after death of Samuel Untermeyer....a cast of the original. Just how Untermeyer acquired the sculpture from the Berlin original or had the cast made remains a mystery."
Michael F. • January 23, 2012This place I'd misnamed. It's Stuyvesant Town Fountain, not Stuyvesant Oval fountain. There was a venue previously but it disappeared.
Quintein • December 17, 2018I highly recommend visiting when there isn't a crowd (late night to 8am) to fully reflect. There is lots of security present and the area is under CCTV via the light posts
Noel C. • October 2, 2022No matter your politics. A lot of people died in a terrible event. As memorials go, this was very nice and had an eerie calm born from respect of the visitors. Worth coming here
