The final draft of my floor plan which is split into three different sections which illustrate how each area will connect to one another.

I really like the overall design of the park, it has several different components that go well together and the components placed in the park such as the seating and barbecue area are really great uses of space.

Looking over this, all I can say is that this is a fantastic park. The entrance into a corridor gives a feel of isolation while still letting natural light in. The brick you chose for the walls also accent the canopy and environment perfectly. I'm also extremely impressed with each individual section to the park. They all serve their own purpose, all boast a welcoming environment, and all fit perfectly into the parks environment. My one concern of space for recreational activities was addressed when I saw your concert space and the grass space around it. The only thing I could even consider changing would to be to move some trees closer to the crowd to provide a feeling of immersion and potential shade. But aside from that, this is a simply fantastic park, and I applaud you for creating it.
