PROPOSED PARKING
Today, children only know that the table is made of wood but they do not know where the food and vegetables come from. Not to mention how the seed becomes a flower, becomes a tree and becomes a part of the forest. According to the Western Sydney Strategy of Greening Sydney, the design park aims to provide children with a park for learning and perceiving the forces of nature and life. The park relies on the remnant vegetation and the natural resources of the Haslams River to inte grate natural wild fun with various activities, including colorful farmland, multifunctional lawns, family clubs and other entertainment themes for children It will provide the opportunity for children to touch the nature and regain the innocence for adults. Sever al educational center s have been established in the park to share the history of agricultural development and exhibitions of remaining plants. The waterplay park and the wetland provide the experience of protecting nature and getting close to nature. The water will be drained from the wetland and then returned to the wetland through the water pipe for purifying the water. Wooden trails are provided near wetland and near the remnant vegetation to reduce impact of humans on nature. Both the children playgound and waterplay areas provide activity areas for younger children and older children. In order to meet the needs of children with different behaviors, a rest area is provided nearby for parents and children to play, rest and gather.
