PARKS 



PLATE No. 224. OPEN AIR DANCE FLOOR, COLT PARK, HARTFORD, CONNECTICUT 



This structure, with a dance surface 87 x 128 feet, was built in 1916. The cost of the platform and seats was 

 about $6,000. In 1917 the band shell was added at a cost of about $3,000. Booths have been erected for the check- 

 ing of wraps and a stand where refreshments are on sale. The platform and surrounding park are well lighted and 

 the absence of shrubbery in the immediate vicinity simplifies the problem of supervision.
