        Historically, this small platform was a part of the Forest of Arden and has been used for commencement ceremonies, theater performances and holiday programs. It was constructed in the 1940s, and brick pavers and railings were added in the 2000s. The exact location of the Forest of Arden space shifted to the south and east over time.
