The Fountain sculpture designed by Emma Stebbins in 1868 and unveiled in 1873, Stebbins was the first woman to receive a public commission for a major work of art in New York City.
The bronze, eight-foot statue depicts a female winged angel touching down upon the top of the fountain, where water spouts and cascades into an upper basin and into the surrounding pool. It was the only statue in the park called for in the original design. Beneath her are four four-foot cherubs representing Temperance, Purity, Health, and Peace.

The Bow Bridge is perhaps the most well-known bridge in Central Park, it is a cast iron bridge located in Central Park, and crosses over The Lake and used as a pedestrian walkway. It is decorated with an interlocking circles banister, with eight planting urns on top of decorative bas-relief panels. The bridge was designed by Calvert Vaux and Jacob Wrey Mould, and completed in 1862. Measuring a total of 87 feet (26.5 m), it is the largest bridge in the park.

And finishing off with the Dome, at the end of the Mall close to Bethesdha terrace
