Because it's a spray shower!
Day 42
There’s no inscription on this obelisk

I'm walking every street in New York City.
This is the counterpoint to my walk across the US. Instead of seeing a million places for just a minute each, I'm going to spend a million minutes exploring just one place. By the time I finish walking every block of every street in all five boroughs, I'll have traveled more than 8,000 miles on foot — all within a single city. Details!

Your donations allow me to keep walking full-time. If you think what I'm doing is valuable and you'd like to offer some support, I would be very grateful. On the other hand, if you think I'm a worthless bum, feel free to email me and tell me to get a job, bozo. Both are excellent options!
Is this a place for people to come cool off on hot days?
I think it’s the spray shower for the Colgate Close Park. Here’s a street view .. http://maps.google.com/maps?t=h&daddr=40.82410989760%2C%20-73.88149645320%20%28Center%20of%20Colgate%20Close%29
Okay I see it attached to a park area but still, what is it for? Is it a cooling off station, you know that sprays a fine mist for people to play under and cool off on a hot day?
yes my friends, exactly. Alot of water spray parks opening up in the “tri-state” area. Less of a insurance risk then pools….and it is meant for locals to run in and get cooled off. Realy, quite a few around. This is more majestic looking then some.
and it keeps the fire hydrants from being opened up in the area’s
