Union Park Now: Looking Down at the Pavilion Area 2

Here is another view of The Pavilion area from a slightly different angle. The Promenade cuts through the park passing by the Triangle Garden and the Tree with Three Trunks. You can also see the area where the Ice Cream Stand and the Bowling Alley stood.

Union Park Now: Looking Down at the Pavilion Area 1

This image is very similar to a previous post "The Pavilion, Union Park" which posted on 10/26/09. The Triangle Garden and the Tree with Three Trunks are both visible. Also, you can clearly see the meandering creek which would have passed under the building.

The Pavilion, Union Park, postcard 2

Picture yourself walking down The Promenade. Here in this scene you can see The Pavilion off to your right. Notice on the far right how the creek meanders under the building. Further down the sidewalk past the Triangle Garden is The Ice Cream Stand and The Bowling Alley.

Can you spot what is missing from this image? Answer: The two water fountains. Even under magnification, I can't find them. Perhaps this photo was taken before the installation of the fountains. Since this postcard was never used, it is difficult to determine when it was taken.

Union Park Now: The Pavilion 1

This photo from 2003 was taken standing on the Promenade directly in front of where the Pavilion once stood. The tree with 3 trunks is in the background to the far left. The triangle garden is directly front and center. If you get permission to visit in May you will see that purple irises still bloom in the garden. Later in the summer the garden gets overgrown with weeds. Restoring this garden would be a great project for a gardening or a scouting group.
