The Central City Park Bandstand was built in 1871 in Macon, Georgia. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on March 16, 1972, recognizing its place among the city's historic structures. The bandstand stands at the eastern terminus of Riverside Drive in Central City Park.

The bandstand's name comes from Central City Park, the Macon green space laid out along the Ocmulgee River where it stands at the eastern end of Riverside Drive. Its hexagonal plan, unusual for a bandstand, has been compared to the crown of Longwood, the octagonal Natchez house begun in 1860. Visitors can look for that six-sided outline and the park setting that gave the structure its name.

The bandstand is easily accessible via pathways running through the park from multiple entry points, leading directly to the structure. Nearby benches and surrounding greenery provide comfortable spots to rest while viewing the historic building and its surroundings.

The bandstand was designed with architectural influences similar to the famous Longwood mansion in Mississippi, showing how design trends traveled across regions during that era. This rare architectural connection links Macon's small structure to a broader pattern of cultural exchange happening across America in the 19th century.
