Have you ever used the word "bowery" to refer to a covered area in a park with picnic tables?
I used it in a sentence the other day and my wife said she had never heard that word before (she says pavilion instead).
I looked it up online and none of the dictionaries refer to is as a pavilion-like covering except Wikitionary:
https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/bowery
I googled park bowery reservations and the city of Roy's website popped up, so maybe it's a Utah thing:

The church building I attended growing up had a bowery just off the parking lot

A bowery is generally a frame with branches or tree boughs used for the roof.
