Such an inventive way to combine form and function!

I really appreciate the way you're pulling successful aspects from really different types of parks. Great brainstorming!

It's so great to think about who will be using this park. I would see if there's any census data to back up your theory that there are a lot of families in this area!

Your gazebo is really beautiful and I think your park has a nice aesthetic but I do agree that the space looks a little bit empty. Your pathways also could be a mapped a bit better and the pond looks rather small BUT I like the concept of it, regardless if it's in Vegas. Many parks in our city have ponds, lakes, reservoirs and even small water parks so I think It would definitely be a great idea. And it goes well with the design of your gazebo!

How will the pond work? Also it feels like there is a bit to much of open space. Working on that open space will make it more pleasant.

I do not know if that pond is really efficient for a place like Las Vegas. Most ponds in Vegas are not kept clean enough for people to swimming in it. This pond is also too small for any sort of boating activities. The only thing that this pond will provide is marine like and if the water is too dirty to see though, most wont believe that they are in there.

I like how you created a part in the park for young adults and the elderly. The place seems peaceful. It shows that little kids aren't the only ones that use the park.

I like that you used a small water feature in your park. It might not be cost effective, but it looks aesthetically pleasing.

I really like the pond you have. The only thing I caution you is to make sure that you are thinking about the impact it will have in the environment. Like what if random ducks come in and overpopulated your park. Also, I don't know how low maintance a pond is for a desert park. Don't change it, just explain it more please.

The function of the children's play area was well-thought out. It would definitely meet the needs of parents and children alike. It would be beneficial to provide a shade structure for the playground structure. The tree may only provide shade at a certain time in the day.
