Welcome to my page!
My park: __Persuasive Letter__ May 23 2007 Thank you for taking a look at my park. I do think you should choose my park, as it is unique and fun for everyone, but it is safe and is designed with many thoughts from others. Let me explain what activities are a available in my park. You can take your kids to the Kiddo's Pizza Restaurant where they can make their own pizza's! You can also go skateboarding or jogging in a comfortable area. And if you want to go for a picnic - sure: sit beside the lake while your kids go swimming. The Lake Bar has a wide variety of foods and the Picnic Restaurant makes lunch for your family! You can leave your kids in the babysit area while you take a stroll through the very romantic flower garden...
 * Dear Mathsland Community Planning Committee,**

If you choose my park, I have some general rules I think everybody should follow. Firstly, respect everyone and the environment around you. That means: throw everything in the garbage cans!

Ms. Lilian**
 * Sincerely,

__Reflection__ I personally didn't do this exercise, but my understanding of access to public spaces has still been changed by my experience of seeing that accessing the Upper Field by wheelchair is impossible/hard because now I know how it is and what it must feel like if you don’t have any access to specific places. I think all public places should have a wheelchair so everyone can access it without too much trouble!
 * How has your understanding of access to public spaces been changed by your experience of trying to access the Upper Field by wheelchair?**

I learned many things about the process when designing the park. I learned how to find the area of an oval and how to use Macromedia FreeHand. I discovered it was easier to record the dimensions while working so you would have them with you for homework and for other purposes.
 * What have you learned about the process when designing the park? Eg, how did you manage to convert real dimensions to grid dimensions and vice versa?**

To improve the process for next year’s students, I think we should have some more time for this project so we could think about our parks some more. I also think we should get familiar with the software first (for example in IT) so when the time comes we will have a much easier time doing it.
 * What suggestions can you make for improving the process for next year’s students?**
