Nice on researching plants suited for the type of weather the site has and you chose lovely colors to add to the park having a natural colorful look.

I really like the stage you included in your park. It really gives off a sense of community and unity. People can freely perform on the stage for other people to enjoy, everyone can share their own talents. This idea also reminds me of the Container Park in Downtown Las Vegas. Great concept!

I love the idea of having a small stage in the park, it will give people the opportunity to show off their talents if they wanted to. I also agree with GmoneyMcSwagger above about the idea of a pavilion. With how high the temperature can reach here in Las Vegas, it will provide the performers with good protection from the sunlight.

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.

What a swagalicious idea. I think a pavilion overhead of the stage would've aided the performers a great deal, but still...pretty RAD.

I like how you included a stage, as it really suits the idea of the Arts District in the downtown area of Las Vegas. The amount of foliage and shade structures was also well thought out.

I love the time and effort you took beforehand to determine what materials, plants, and features you wanted in your park. AS I mentioned on another design, I think that the enclosed structure may be inappropriate for the general area that the park is in, but it overall is a very well thought out design.

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.

I like how you took the time to research plants that will not only be cost effective but also help reduce water consumption and that can survive the harsh local summers.

This is a nice and aesthetically pleasing entrance. I like the idea of having a part of the park like this. It incorporates a great place for people to relax and enjoy themselves.
