Figure 1-- Here we see a family snpsot in the 1930s of a unidentified park visit with a pavilion in the background. The four children are pictured with grandmother. They look to be about 3 to 13 years old. The older boys wear double-breasted short pants suits.

Parks primarily invoke leafy green areas, both gardens and naturally forested areas. This is primarily the case in America, perhaps with a fountain or memorial statue at the center in the case of urban parks. While this is also the case in England, we also see many pavilions. A prominent feature of English parks are pavilions. A pavilion is defined as 'a light, usually open building used for shelter, concerts, exhibits, etc., as in a park or fair.' Pavilions can be found in both American and English parks, but they are more common in English parks--especilly the more elaborate, substabtial pavilions. The word is not used as much in American as in England and has more of a connotation of a temporary shelter like a tent. We also see less elaborate pavilions as part of private gardens. While pavillions are often seen as temporary facilities. Many English pavilions are permanent often elaborate structures especially designed for public concerts even during inclemete weather. This seems poractical matter on country where rainy weather is so common.
