The Aerodrome was a performance space that replaced the old bandstand in 1910.[1] Built in the north end of the park,[2] it had seats for over 1,000 people and showed concerts, moving pictures, illustrated songs, Franz Rangler's troupe of 20 Tyrolean singers, and more. It was a free attraction at the park.[3] This was also called a "Band Shell"[4] and might be what became the Swimming Pool Band Shell.
