Cherry Hill is one of my favorite picnic destinations in Central Park. It its name from the cherry trees that bloom there each spring. It is a quiet hill providing a great view to the Lake and the boats around Bow Bridge. Along with the cherries you can enjoy a large population of forsythia and azaleas. The Cherry Hill fountain is the center of the place. It has a very elegant design with glass lights atop and you can find the Wagner Cove just at the west.I can’t wait for the spring to come so I can enjoy my favorite soft pink blossoms.
Central Park, Cherry Hill - A great fountain to make a wish! Feeling blessed and grateful for a circle of friends! 10/13/19

Hard to believe that this fountain has been around for more than 150 years. It looks unremarkable without the water but is still worth a visit (and pictures).
Amazing blossom!
Beautiful.Good for photo shoots. Best place for a picnic or to just hangout with friends and family.We did a bike ride to this place and enjoyed stpoing over on our way to other attractions in the park. Place is decently crowded. You will find people dancing, singing etc. small vendors even sell stuff.
Loveliest spot in Central Park.you can always find a place for your picnic blanket even on the sunniest of days.
One of the best tourist spot in Central Park
Very cool place, very popular scene in movies and television
Nice spot to sit and hang out
No one in the Cherry Hill
Nice view but for the rest lame
Awesome area u can spend very good and relaxed time under the trees from your exhausted routine i love to go every year twice or thrice many people having their wedding photoshoot over there and o believe it’s very good place for that you cam capture nature beauty ith your memorable moments both will be unforgettable
Its the fountain from the Friends opening credits! My understanding is the first series or so they filmed in the actual fountain in Central park, but then they made a replica on a set.It was fully operational when I visited which was nice and its not usually too busy here.Well worth a visit although not as majestic as the Bethesda Fountain.
Great spot to take a few minutes to absorb your surroundings.
Nice surprise cherry blossom after raining
Cool little fountain.
Central Park is stunning, but our horse drawn driver told us that Cherry Hill fountain was the 1 from friends opening scene. It is not. Why say that. Only 2 stars for deception but 5 overall for the rest of the park
Beautiful historic turnaround.
Beautiful fountain. If you stay for a little bit youll almost always see a horse pass by. In fact it was technically built so horses could drink from it, back in the 1860s.
Always thought it is fountain from friends untill I got there, took a picture and made this collage. You can see not its not. Oh well...but still Central Park is a nice place to visit and walk around!
One of my favorite Place for picnic
My favorite spot on Central Park!!
It was in renovation
Beautiful location with the cherry blossom trees in the springtime
Beautiful place great design
Beautiful spot. Very peaceful
A wonderful place to escape from the city noise.
Great location to get a photo of a horse carriage.
Just beautiful
I was a bit disappointed with this because I was expecting that there would be more water but sadly it didnt. Still a wonderful place to visit though.
Great place. But Im depressed so I didnt have fun.
Wonderful part of central park. This part of the park is in a lot of TV shows and movies.
Got engaged here, a place very close to my heart, beautiful
Great photo op! Loved it!
Stunning views from every direction especially during sunset
Good viewing spot, slightly raised to other areas
Not a bad place to picnic and hang out.
Apparently, this is not the fountain in friends TV show. It is nice to visit this place though.

Ridiculous poor.
It is a beautiful fountain, located almost in the center of the park, so you can prepare yourself for everything that comes after
We went in december so the trees were unfortunately not in bloom. But even during this period it was a beautiful and peaceful place.Beautiful view.
Love this place! 💜I love this place! 💜
Beautiful, easy to get with Google map.All walking.
This location within Central Park is typical of Hollywood movies ... make the most of it ...
Nothing like taking a picture with the Ghostbusters building in the background. (Photo 2018)
In all times the best landscape is found here
It’s a pity that the fountain didn’t have water when it came.
Nice place to photograph, but with horse smell.
Very beautiful place to take good pictures !!
Impressionant!
Nice garden but not wow
Plan for the Central Park Tour really worth seeing as many films were shot here 👍
One of the most beautiful places in the park. Especially in spring, when the cherry blossoms.
Quite A Happening To Be There !!! Emblematic Place for One of the Most Striking Series on TV !!! I loved it
Emblematic fountain near the lake.
One of Central Parks iconic spots, known for being the opening of Friends
It is the place where all the films and the intro of Friends are filmed !!! It is an emblematic place.
I was just there for the 25th anniversary of the Friends series !!! What a thrill!
It is a delight to rest here and see the world around!
Lindo
Fountain and the surrounding area

Very nice corner. you can linger a while
Nothing special, like in any park, ma expected something special from New York
Another beautiful place in Central Park ...
Nice romantic place in Central Park ...
Unbearable horse pee smell, you end up fleeing towards the bow bridge immediately.
Wonderful!
Central park, always sensational.
If you love nature this is your place
Here they have turned the FRIENDS acronym ...

Beautiful, I love it
Great for relaxing!

2022-04-27Great place to see the cherry blossoms!
Review №2
2018-11-15Cherry Blossoms! The reason that this location in Central Park is called Cherry Hill is because of the cherry blossom trees planted on this hill. Literally the best place to view cherry blossoms in Central Park. There are other locations in Central Park with cherry blossoms, but this is the only place with a waterfront view along with probably the prettiest light pink cherry blossom tree that I have ever seen. Even though the cherry blossom bloom is now over, be sure to mark this place as a must visit for next spring in Central Park.

2017-11-27Another lovely spot to get a scenic view from Central Park. It’s relatively small fountain but it is situated on the hill. You can get a lovely Manhattan skyscrapers from here. And also a glimpse of Bow Bridge.

2021-06-08This place is amazing, lots of people dancing, the vibe here is completely different .The fountain itself is beautiful, gives me a very historic kind of feeling at this spot. Usually my go to spot at central park.

2019-02-20Nice spot, near the lake and the Bethesda Terrace.Theres a small pavillion down the path to the west, which is a nice place just to sit and think, and the lake, to the north, has fantastic views of the beautiful old buildings along Central Park West.Continue along the path along the shore and youll see the Bow Bridge, a bealtiful spot, and continue further along the shore to the Bethesda Terrace, my personal favorite place in the park and perhaps the entire world ; )They have fireworks here occasionally which can be seen for miles.

2018-03-31A beautiful spot in Central Park. This is a place where a lot of movies were filmed and right next to it you can kayak in the summer for like $15. Would recommend this spot if you’re going to check out Central Park as it is very iconic
