Conservatory Water
Conservatory Water owes its name to the large glass house intended for the exhibition of tropical plants specified in the guidelines of the 1857 design competition for Central Park. The Greensward Plan, the winning entry submitted by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, proposed a conservatory and ornamental flower beds at this location. Due to lack of funding, the conservatory was never built, and the area configured as a floral parterre was turned into an ornamental pond.
