The graph above shows the marital status of the residents of this surrounding area. This is an important factor to consider since single, married, and sometimes even widowed people have different families. Lets assume that the majority of people married have children, about 2 kids per family, and that they stop having children at around the age of 45. If this were true, then that means that there are more children then adults all together, and at least 50% of these adults have children, according to the graph. Because of this, we must make the park suit for young single adults, married adults, and children.

It's so great to think about who will be using this park. I would see if there's any census data to back up your theory that there are a lot of families in this area!
