Painted in Cincinnati's Washington Park, one of the city's oldest, the bandstand sits at the center of two block long expanse. The south end of the grounds are still of a more traditional setting with many large trees and winding walks. To the north end, the area across from Music Hall has been redeveloped to an open grass area with a half shell performance space. Washington Park was the site of the temporary pavilions for the Centennial Exposition of 1888. Music Hall was built as the permanent facility.
