This is the park when viewing Holly Street The image captures the vegetation that I added to the park all around. This view shows where the playground would be orientated. In addition, there is a small pond so that families can enjoy it.

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.

Comments

The pond is a nice touch to your park especially because you wanted to make your park fun. How deep would the pond be? Why did you decide to have the pond very close to the playground? A child could possible drown.

I like the openness of your park. There's a nice distinction between landscape and recreational areas. The only thing I would have changed was created a better pathway to get to each area of your park. If you used a more defined walkway you could have tied in all of your areas so everything connected.

I'm concerned that this is the first time we're hearing about a pond! Safety is an important consideration - but so are environmental factors! Where does this water come from? What happens if it evaporates?
