The final design with benches, shrubs, and trees added. There are stairs leading up to the top. There is a lot of open space for those who want to toss around a ball or run around or just relax.
You can even include links to a YouTube or Vimeo of a digital walk-through like this one: https://youtu.be/ncaVQ2V6XXU
Adaptive Reuse
Architects often find creative ways to reuse old structures that are no longer in use. Check out how old rail lines were adapted to create New York's High Line and Chicago's 606.

This is great! I like the open area but I think the park does need some more landscaping just to help scale the space down and provide privacy between groups of people or individuals. Where did the ramp go for accessibility? And your great idea of having an entry covered in greenery is also gone? It would create a dramatic but calming point of entry to your park.
The layout of the park is simple but nice. I think is great that the park has a high altitude hill area that has more privacy than the other areas of the park. But would there be walkways placed on the park, that are need for those that would have difficulty walking through the grass.
I like the way how you implemented an elevated resting area. However, it would be nice to have another resting area at the corner or something for those with wheelchairs.
