Collect Pond, or Fresh Water Pond, was a body of fresh water in what is now Chinatown in Lower Manhattan, New York City. For the first two centuries of European settlement in Manhattan, it was the main New York City water supply system for the growing city. The former pond became the site of a jail and is now a city park, Collect Pond Park, which includes a pond evocative of its former status.

  • El Collect Pond (Lago colector), o Fresh Water Pond (Lago de agua dulce), fue un cuerpo de agua dulce cerca del extremo sur de Manhattan, en Nueva York, que ocupaba aproximadamente unos 194.000 m², y que tenía una profundidad de unos 18 metros. Este lago o estanque era alimentado por un manantial subterráneo, y su salida era a través de los «Lispenard Meadows»(Prados Lispenard), una laguna de agua salada, hasta el río Hudson. El nombre Collect, es una corrupción de la palabra holandesa «Kolk», que significa pequeño cuerpo de agua, y la cual fue corrompida posteriormente por «Kalch», y así sucesivamente hasta convertirse en la actual «Collect».El Collect Pond se encuentra al norte del actual Foley Square y al oeste de Chinatown.
