It is used on occasions for events in the park.
It has connections to Bowie as the park where the 1969 "free festival" took place which Bowie's "Memory of a Free Festival" song refers to.
It is also the bandstand that Bowie is said to have written "Life On Mars".
So if you are a Bowie fan this will be an important landmark for you to visit.
However, if you have no interest in Bowie and you visit when there are no events on you may just see it as a "Small grubby uninteresting wood structure that looks abandoned" :)
