What used to be and what is now mav be referred to asthe Fairview Amusement Park of many vears ago and the Fairview campus of Butler today. Acres o( amusement including a merry-go-round, concession stands, a deer park, a pony track, a band stand, with many other features have all been Iranslormed into the halls of knowledge. One of the many campus features today that has not been transformed from the old park is the formal garden just north of Jordan Hall. This garrlen with the fountain and fish pond was an added attraction after liutler was moved north from Irvington. Many a Sunday afternoon, in spring, sum- mer, or autumn, one could find laughing children in colorful array accompanied by their parents, and young couples with locked arms taking advantage of the recreation the park had to offer. A band stand was located north of the formal garden with the deer park northeast, and the concession stands near. A diving tank was located at what is now the southeast corner of .Jordan Hall. The snow white horses. King and Queen, were featured weekly in their daring act into a water tank from a ramp several feet above. Benches and picnic grounds could be seen in various places about the park. On top of the north ridge, over- looking the canal, now the present site of the College of Religion building, were the merry- go-rounds, with a restaurant to satisfy hungry patrons. Below this point, a bowling alley was situated. The present Botanical Gardens farther north on the campus, with its extensive lawns and flower beds, is a very different place from the wilderness that preceded it. which was origin- ally the site of a famous pony track. Here the youth of Indianapolis used to ride in the olden days. l has long been abandoned for the gardens and even the road has disappeared. Fairview Park was sold to Butler in 1924 when it was abandoned b) the Indianapolis Railroad Company. In the fall of 1928 the Butler University of today took over its new campus location which has still kept tiie old name, the Fairview campus.
