Cherokee park is home to many unique structures. Including Hogan’s fountain, Big Rock, and the Teepee pavilion. The Frederick Law Olmsted Foundation wants to tear down the teepee pavilion and build two new smaller pavilions in its place. I spoke with Virginia Mattingly an active volunteer for the Save Hogan’s Fountain Teepee Pavilion Foundation. Virginia gave me good insight on what was going on with the pavilion. The foundation has until next summer to raise $80,000. If the money is raised than the proper restorations can be made to the pavilion and it will be saved. I think the teepee should not be torn down. It is a one of kind structure and its teepee formation gives tribute to Cherokee parks history. The pavilion is not of any danger to people and only requires some cosmetic changes.
