Collett Park was established on 21 acres of land given to Terre Haute by businessman Josephus Collett in 1883, making it the city's oldest park. It is bounded by Collett Avenue, Ninth Street, Maple Avenue and Seventh Street. The park attracted many, especially Rose Polytechnic Institute professors, to build gracious homes on Ninth Street. The pavilion and refreshment stand is the oldest structure in the park and was designed by J. Merrill Sherman.
