Monon Park Dancing Pavilion is a historic dance hall building located at Cedar Lake, Lake County, Indiana, United States. It was built in 1897, as a one-story, open air frame building supported by brick piers. The building measures 55 feet by 110 feet and has a massive gable-on-hip roof with deeply overhanging eaves. It displays some Stick style and Eastlake movement design elements. The building was acquired in 1915 by the Moody Memorial Bible Church, who enclosed and enlarged the original structure.
