Parks 3

BURNET  WOODS

  This park is located north of the University of Cincinnati, south of Ludlow Ave., east of Clifton Ave., and west of Jefferson Ave. Consisting now of about 91 acres, it opened on August 26, 1874. The park originally consisted of about 165 acres but the University of Cincinnati was built on the southern portion of the park and later additions took over even more of the park.
  The first two cards show the bandstand where the very popular band concerts were given on Thursday evenings during the summer. Community sings where everyone joined in were also given. The building you see in the next few cards was a shelter house. The small man-made lake was built in 1875, it had rowboats that could be rented for 50 cents an hour, there was also a motor launch that would take you around the pond for a nickel. In 1936, 12,000 people attended a Federal Music Project production of "H. M. S. Pinafore," that was on a stage that was floating on pontoons in the lake. The Trailside Museum and Nature Center, north of the lake, were constructed in the early 40s.

They not only took out the poles in the last card-they must have run off the girl standing in front.
