Bandstand
There were multiple bandstands and band shells at Olentangy Park.
Which one would you like to know about?
- South Bandstand - Built in 1895 and existed prior to the park's opening
- North Bandstand / Band Shell / Aerodrome - Opened in 1910, south of the Whirlwind
- Band Shell - Opened in 1920, replacing the North Bandstand near the Swimming Pool

Notes
A northern bandstand is seen facing south in images from 1908-1909. It was in the most northern part of the park until the park expanded for the Shoot-the-Chutes. A page for this will be added soon.[1][2]
