caption_attribution_description: English: Snow covered Hogan Fountain Pavilion, in Cherokee Park, Louisville, Kentucky.
context_page_description: The Hogan's Fountain Pavilion is a large gazebo and picnic shelter of mid-century modern architecture located within Cherokee Park, Louisville, Kentucky, built in 1965. This pavilion is available for rental for a variety of events. When not rented, the pavilion is available, at no charge, to all park visitors. It is a popular location for the community.
  Known as the City of Parks and for its unconventional architecture, it is fitting that Louisville's most popular park is home to the Hogan's Fountain Pavilion, the most prominent landmark in Cherokee Park.
  Often affectionately referred to by its admiring fans as "weird" or "offbeat", the Pavilion's eccentric appearance fits in very well, in a city that prides itself on "Keeping Louisville Weird".
  In 1974, the pavilion survived an F4 tornado with minor damage although Cherokee Park was heavily affected, losing over 2,000 mature trees to the twister.

  In 1974, the pavilion survived an F4 tornado with minor damage although Cherokee Park was heavily affected, losing over 2,000 mature trees to the twister. After 1994, the Parks Department and the Olmsted Parks Conservancy agreed to, and have set into motion plans for, the eventual demise and removal of the Hogan's Fountain Pavilion stating, "...removing the tepee when its natural life span ends." as part of a Master Plan to recapture the original 1892 design that Frederick Law Olmsted envisioned for Cherokee Park.
  In the spring of 2010, in response to local public hearings being held in reference to the implementation of a second  Master Plan, a group of local Pavilion-restoration supporters organized a grassroots effort to save the structure from demolition.  As a result of this group's efforts, the Parks Department agreed to delay removal of the pavilion to allow private funds to be raised for its repair.
