Water Fountains Coming Online
The NYC Parks Department is starting to turn the water fountains back on. Haven't been to Prospect Park in a few days, so can't say whether they are back on there (can anyone chime in on this one?), but the water fountain in Cadman Plaza Park before the Brooklyn Bridge entrance (always a popular stop) is back. The fountains on the Promenade haven't gone back on yet, though there's a working one in Pierrepoint Park that's there year round.

Some usable, some not so much:
On PPW just outside the park at GAP, not working at all.
Fountain N of Long Meadow (near the porta potties, which are back) just a trickle.
Fountains on transverse, near Nethermead, and where transverse meets "loop" near zoo, working well.
to continue:
Along the pathway past the ballfields from Bartel Pritchard toward the Picnic House and beyond, toward Grand Army, all seem to be on except for the fountain by the Tennis House.
(A little disturbing that it's two "new" fountains--this one and the one by Grand Army mentioned in 12:34PM post--which don't seem to be functioning).
I was wondering if there is any kind of map with locations of the water fountains in and around Prospect Park?
Let me poke around, or at the very least, I can create a map with an approximation. There are a fair number of them - at the major entrances to the park, also along some of the transverses. There's also water at the public bathrooms.
