"Main Entrance - Taken from Central Avenue"

An attractive street lamp and small traffic island stand strategically in the middle of Pelhamdale Avenue, slowing traffic so travelers might appreciate the grand entrance to Chester Park. Four granite pillars support elaborate cast iron urns. Stone walls extend both north and south from the outer pillars. (The wall running north has been removed.) Cracks along the right side of Central Avenue suggest the roads were paved with packed dirt, although roads of packed gravel ("Macadamized roads") were the norm at this time.
