JAPANESE COVERED PIERS IN BLACK HAWK PARK, ROCKFORD, ILL. 
proportions. The tower has not yet been 
built, but provisions have been made to 
erect it. 
I'he Japanese covered piers are located 
at the ravine which is spanned by a 20- 
foot concrete arch. Ultimately it is ex- 
pected to treat the ravine in some way to 
have a sheet of water surrounded with 
paths and rock gardens to take care of 
the slopes. 
The covered piers are used principally 
as seats, but they are also intended for a 
shelter, since they are located in a part of 
this park which is the remotest from any 
shelter.
