Cities Have it All The Saltair Pavilion in Salt Lake City is just one example of the deep pockets that finance large structures during this period. It's jointly owned by the Mormon Church, and the Salt Lake and Los Angeles Railway, and is emblematic of a long period of conspicuous civic collaboration.

	Fresh Air America already has lots of small city parks, but some are now being redesigned in a much grander style. New York's Central Park transforms nearly vacant land (top left) into America's showplace promenade (top right). Detroit's Belle Isle Park is even larger, making it the largest in America (lower left). A modest summer resort, originally built for Brooklyn residents on Long Island's south shore, is slowly transformed into America's first monster amusement park, called Coney Island (lower right).
	Cultural Amenities Music halls and opera houses are all the rage. Cincinnati has three, including a magnificent concert hall that still hosts performances today. In some cities, small existing libraries are consolidated into large new public libraries, with elaborate architecture.
