This image was taken from The Waiting Area. On the right from the nearest building to the farthest you can see The Refreshment Stand, The Bowling Alley, and another pavilion area (probably used for picnics). On the left you can see the stairs to the original Rustic Bandstand. Beyond that you can see a crowd of people in the plaza area around the second bandstand. An interesting feature of this postcard is the lack of park benches in The Waiting Area. Where have they gone? I would guess this image was taken between 1909-1910 because of the clothing style and also the cement work looks rather new. The planters also seem to be a new feature in this image.
Visitors would continue down The Promenade to get to other areas of the park including the children's playground and in later years the Mammoth Theater. This postcard was mailed in 1912.
