Central City Park of Macon

According to the tablet below this gazebo which I call a cupola is actually called "The Speakers Stand". 

I had no idea it had some significant history attached to the confederates.  Ouch!  I saw it a perfect place to get married.  Anyway this park is called CENTRAL CITY PARK of Macon Georgia.  Its located at the edge of downtown Macon.  It's primarily used for the annual Cherry Blossom Festival.  Which is fills up the park with thousands of people from all over.  Anyway the park has a playground for children and grille for cooking out.  Unlike the Ocmulgee Heritage Park by the River, you're not allowed to have a cook out.  And there are plenty of picnic tables and gazebos.  It also have a water fountains and a small wooden arch bridge.  But the water fountain were not on yesterday while I took these photos.  The park also house a baseball field. The park is definitely perfect for bike riding.  You can criss cross through the many paths in the park.

Landscape of Central City Park of Macon

I have no idea why they placed this train as a feature close to the entrance at the park.

The first time I really paid attention to this building.  Freight Station?

There goes that bike again.

Where the annual Used Book Sale is held.

Love the circular engineering of this building.  It reminds me of a mosque.

But then it contains four of this on each side.  Making this building not a circle but a square.  Must be some masonic involve in building this facility.
