Show us this in perspective with the actual site! Doing so helps to provide some context.

The hill in the back corner seems sort of isolated - would love to see you incorporate topographical changes with the landscaped pond and path area.

The ideas developed in early sketches were carried through well in the final park design. Project was modeled well in 3D.

I love your design, it's very different from a lot of the ones I have seen so far. I like that fact that you included some kind of enclosed building. It gives it a sort of recreational townsquare vibe. The only thing I might worry about is the safety of the topography. I'd be worried if my kids tried to climb up that grass hill. But other than that your final design looks great!

I like that you were able to place activities for both children and for teens and even adults. The fact that it can be used by anyone makes it absolutely fantastic.

Overlooking a drop into a pond and very thin on either side, kids would probably not be safe using it for their winter activities. - completely agree, as pretty as the view can been, for small children it is not really safe, considering there is a playground just off site. It's always a good idea to start doing something and later it might flow into something unexpected, as long as you are moving and writing like writers per hour you have nothing to worry about!

I like how you didn't just stick with the first idea that came to mind, but instead, took the positives from you original idea and started looking for ways to improve. That's the real design process at work right there! The Architecture!
