How to Design a Park for School
A park is a place to enjoy nature and the outdoors and also offers students places to observe local flora and fauna in its natural habitat. To design a park for a school all you need is a pencil, some paper and general idea of what the park must include, how big it is, and what it will be used for. Once you have all of that information, you can mock up a blueprint.

Ask yourself what this park is meant to do. Is this a playground where the center of attention is focused on the equipment, or is this a nature park where you have a forest filled with convenient walkways? Do you want open fields for running, flag football and frisbee, or do you want to create a park that's more like an are museum of nature with lots of bushes and trees? Once you know what the park is meant to be used for, you can move forward in the design process.

Decide on the dimensions of the park. Whether it's going to be a square acre or a city block, you need to lay out the dimensions and the shape of the borders of the park before you begin filling it with anything. Draw out the rough border on your paper, providing a scale for the size.

Make a sample park design within the borders based on the goals the park is supposed to achieve. Fill in the areas where the trees, bushes and other plants should be. Put in any playground equipment, along with parking lots, walking paths, lights, benches, decorative walls, and anything else you can think of should be. Make notes on the side of your blueprint as to what plants are present and which symbols represent what plants. Make as many sample designs as you like, get creative with the design process.

Narrow down all your sample designs to a single, finalized design. Once you have a final design for your park make sure that you've included a legend so that all symbols can be read, and a scale so that the size of your diagram can be understood. Once you've finished the blueprint, hand it over to the person who assigned you the task, whether it was your teacher or your foreman, for approval.
