A park’s central feature can be a building dedicated to silence

Evidence

Above all the acoustic park should be kept simple, and it is for this reason that its chief adornment may be nothing more than the Temple of Silence, a building with no purpose other than meditation. There is nothing special about the Temple of Silence except that in it all visitors will be expected to observe silence. It is to this place that the weary may come seeking nothing but the simplicity of the ultimate music on the other side of this world, the silence at the center of which may be heard the ringing of the great orbs of the Music of the Spheres. — Schafer, Murray R, The Soundscape- Our Sonic Environment…, 852
