Children at the Lakelet in the Square
- Description
The lakelet in this photograph was the main feature of the last quadrant of The Square to be developed by the Beautifying Society. James Nash, Mayor of Palmerston North, opened the lakelet on 27 October 1909. The Lakelet is shaped as a butterfly, with the wings being bisected by a bridge as its body. It is also referred to as the Butterfly Lake. Four children peer over the fence at the ducks in the water. The construction of the brick All Saints Church is visible in the background - dating this photo to between the years 1913-1914.
