In the lot I envision many things. My biggest priorities would be safety, suitable to all ages, and Eco-friendly. This means I would like to have a playground for kids entering the park. I would also like to add benches, tables, and natural shade for adults, parents and elderly people. I would like to have a big entrance to make the park look inviting. open places can also be useful for public events that may occur in the park. And adding to all of this, I will keep a check on all the materials being used to create a park that is Eco-friendly.
