There is a park that has a simple design, Burden Park which is literally a 10 min walk down from my house. This park is simple, with nothing over worked and its place where I go if I ever feel like I am carrying too much on my shoulders.  The tree mostly used in this park is Eucalyptus radiata, the design doesn’t overdo it by planting it everywhere but by aligning it along the edge of the park.

But the park itself has been design with a peaceful place to think, but it has been design to have place to have a family picnic, a playground for the kids to play, a lawn bowl area for the elderly to play and a tennis park for any youth to play. It is not only been designed well but it is built only 5 min away from a school; this would allow more student from the school to perform more outdoor activities at the park. But how will this affect the trees being used to design the park. Is the eucalyptus dangerous to be around any kids or are the kids damaging the trees and what can be done to prevent this.
