This is the New York Department of Transportation's drawing of tree forms. After my initial idea failed, I used this to come up with more designs. https://www.dot.ny.gov/divisions/engineering/design/landscape/trees/rs_selections

This Step

Summary

What should I upload in this Develop Solutions step?

  • images (JPG, GIF) of your rough digital model.
  • an axonometric or perspective view of your model with people, which will help others understand the scale of your park.

It's ok if your model is still a work in progress.

It is good that you are looking into tree shades. The trees and drive the type of park you have. By having trees that have a conical or columnar shape you provide less shade and a round or spreading shape. You should also look into the amount of pollen the trees produce so during allergy season people still want to go to your park.

This particular picture was used solely as an inspiration for my structure's design. However as you pointed out, it is also important to note tree shapes when considering the amount of shade parks want to provide as well as the type of tree for pollen production. I will definitely look into these for future projects, thank you Adams2015!
