Serene Gates Park
Summary
When deciding how to plan for the park, important aspects had to be considered such as how will the park be designed so that it accommodates an easily accessible area. One of the first steps I took was looking at the overall area of the site, taking note of the possible traffic, surrounding buildings, and existing components in the area. Next I thought of the best form the park should take; one covered with different vegetation and seating areas based on research of parks around the country and globe.
