Q: Is the Fountain from the TV show 'Friends' in Central Park? A: What about the Fountain? A lot of people think that the fountain in the opening credits of the American television show from the 1990s, "Friends", was located in New York's Central Park. That would make perfect sense of course, the television series which starred Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston was supposed to be located in New York City. (Most fans and viewers will recall the coffee shop that the 'friends' hung out in was called, "Central Perk", as if it were located near Central Park. It was all sheer fiction of course, and the fountain the friends dance around in the opening credits was a television prop fountain on the Warner Brothers studio lot in LA. Where are the free concerts in Central Park?
