Letenske Sady, also sometimes generally referred to as "Letna," which is only part true, spans a 1.5 kilometre stretch of parkland between the corner of Skalecka and Frantizka Krizka streets roughly seen here facing the other direction (west), and Chokovy Sady, another portion of parkland to the west.

Elihu Root, was a Senator for New York (1909-1915), United States Secretary of War (1899-1904), and United States Secretary of State (1905-1909). Eventually he also studied at Hamilton College, as did his son, also named Elihu Root. According to this website: www.hamilton.edu/arboretum/root-glen/root-glen-history ...the Glen is officially named after the Root family, who maintained it until 1971, when it was fully transferred to Hamilton College

This is way back in the woods in the Root Glen. It isn't clear what it is, but the seat seems to indicate a piece of farming equipment of some kind. I'm fairly sure it isn't a tractor, but beyond that, any further information would be interesting.
