Check out this dance, The Carousel, by Bill Wolding

Bingo! Thanks, Karin!
(Annoyingly, Thomas Green's site is in my index, so I should have found
that page when I was searched for "Carousel". The thing is, I only index
his Longways page -- I'll definitely have to add his Sicilian circles page.)
The source is given as "Caller's Choice", which I don't think I've heard
of. Antony Heywood's database lists its dances:
http://www.heywood.nl/antony/dances/sourceresult.php?ID=850
but doesn't say anything about its publication. After some poking
around, it appears to be the EFDSS book:
http://folkshop.efdss.org/Books+and+Publications/Callers+Choice+2.html
Maybe I'll order 1+2 and add them to my index.
So, Ron, I think we can safely assume that Marian collected the sequence
for "The Carousel" but didn't get the name, and just called it "A Walk
in the Park" (or possibly that happened with the person that Marian
collected the dance from, etc.). So I'd say that that doesn't constitute
the name being "taken".
(Of course, there still might be some *other* dance by that name.)
