When I looked into the area that my site was located in, I discovered that the surrounding area consists of many law offices. That would mean there aren't kids around, and the focus of my park should be on the people who work nearby. It's due to this I have decided to make my park an isolated location for people to talk with one another, as a lawyer could want to discuss business or escape the stresses of his or her work.
