Summary

And here I present the final product. In the end, I kept most of the elements included in the rough design and decided to improve upon it little by little. Though I realize that the large amount of grass might be difficult and expensive to maintain, I believe that it is simply too crucial to take out of the final design.

It's quite obvious that the park is primarily designed with a family orientation, specifically for those families with children. The large amount of open grass space permits family picnics, sports, and other planned group events. The playground areas would be very appealing to children. Even the swings and rock climbing equipment would be appealing to teenagers.

I also decided to implement a dog park into the design. This widens the park's appeal to those owning dogs so that the park's services are not limited to only groups of people seeking a place to spend quality time together. Dogs running around in a dog park always add a high degree of excitement to a park.

Lastly, I decided to add four water fountains, a bike rack, and restroom facilities to add convenience to the park. Two of the water fountains are located at the southwest corner of the site, while the other two are located at the northeast corner of the site; by spreading out the water fountains like such, you will always be close to at least two of them. The bike rack is for those that bike to the park so that they may lock up their bikes; this way, they can simply enjoy their time spent at the park rather than worrying whether or not they get stolen. By providing restroom facilities, those at the park won't have to go all the way back home in case they need to relieve themselves or wash their hands for whatever reason.
