This image of a fence gave me inspiration for the type of fence I want to incorporate into my park. I wanted there to be something that created a separation between the park and the street but without completely cutting off the view of the park. I thought about simply adding a shorter fence but that did not create the correct effect. I then saw this fence and noticed how it gave a separation but still gave an interesting view into the park.

Fences are always a bit of an Achilles heel for parks like these. Smaller parks are meant to be connected to the community, which fences only hinder yet they're a necessity for safety and security reasons. This design would provide the functionality of the fence, while providing a transcendent barrier.
