The site of the current Bandshell and Playground was originally an open archery field. The entire area was defined by an oval path with an immediate connection to the Ninth Street Entrance.

The Bandshell structure and the original Playground were constructed in 1941 the year after this map (showing an approximate building footprint) was made.
