Nappanee West Park and Pavilion, also known as the Community Park of Nappanee, Nappanee Westside Park and Pavilion, and Nappanee West Park Chautauqua Pavilion, is a historic public park located at Nappanee, Elkhart County, Indiana. The Bungalow style pavilion was built in 1923 to house a local Chautauqua. It was used for that purpose until 1925. It was renovated in 1946 to temporarily house a school and in 1958 became home to the Nappanee Civic Theater. The pavilion was renovated in the 1990s. Also on the property is a contributing fire bell (1898).[2]: 5–6
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.[1]
