The Band Rotunda is a symbol of Edwardian times, when one of the most popular forms of entertainment was to attend outdoor band concerts. It was originally located in the centre of the Domain, in front of the Cadman Bath House and was relocated to its current position some time in the early 1900s.

Today the Rotunda is used from time to time, and remains a prominent feature within the Domain. Over the years the base of the Rotunda has been landscaped with large rocks.
