Circle Breeze Park
|Near my school is a large empty lot that I plan to use. The plot is a fairly good size and is located in downtown Vegas, off of Garces St. and 6th. The project is to create a park that can be used to its fullest by the neighborhood around it. The park can only be so large because of the small lot and usually doesn't have a large amount of features.

Your project started off in a really good direction. However, there was little evidence in the Final Design step. I would encourage you to upload even more angles and final designs of your project.
