This is a small to medium sized Gazebo, located at the Hal Gray Park, in Rensselaer, Indiana.

There is a small picnic area that houses this quaint gazebo, shuffleboard surface, glider swing and benches to enjoy an outdoor snack.

Hal Gray Park is south, of the City of Rensselaer Power Plant, at 425 N Van Rensselaer Street.

The park was dedicated on July 6, 1981, and named, after a respected local Music Teacher, Hal Gray.

The Gazebo sits on a cornerstone, dated 1892. There is a plaque giving details:-
 

This School Memorial is dedicated to all Rensselaer
students. It represents the memories we all have of the
school buildings which at one time stood on these
corners. This cornerstone and the bricks surrounding it
came from the Primary Building.
