This sketch shows the park designed when someone looks towards Holly Street. The field will not be large given the fact that the total land area is about one third of an acre. The field will be covered with grass so children can play and run around. The walkways around would have a peanut color to add an aesthetic look. Also there will benches around and some shades.

Comments

This is a nice sketch because it includes many of the vital elements of a park. I like how you added the suburban homes in the background, to give better contextualization of the neighborhood and the proximity of the park to the majority of the homes.

What kind of grass would be sustainable to plant here? Also, is that swingset drawn to scale? It makes the grassy area look pretty big!
