The 7 Wonders of the World
|I was just thinking of a unique theme for a park, and I thought of the 7 ancient wonders of the world. I've never seen a park under theme anywhere, so just figuring out where every wonder would be placed in the park is going to be interesting. Haven't even started a site plan yet, but I drew out each of the wonders for a start.

Great effort in getting this project together! I would encourage you to build out your design more and really think about the essence of the 7 wonders of the ancient world, and how they work with (or against) each other. It's a huge undertaking to try to unfold in a pocket park! I commend your bravery.
