Open Flat Lawn
The open flat lawn is often the largest and simplest part of the park. The open flat lawn is often used for larger occasional events. The flat lawn is used evenings and on the weekend for pickup field games and the lawn is often sunken to retain both soccer balls and storm water. The lawn also provides a large open middle ground in the aesthetic composition of the park.

Adult Attractive Element
If the parks attract adults and give them a reason to linger, they will bring the kids and stay for a while. To attract adults, often this element has to have the same effect as sitting by a fire. A fire pit, a small water feature or a piece of kinetic art tends to draw the attention of adults for hours. Park elements such as the Built, Protective Shade provide a safe and comfortable place to encourage people to linger. Small additions such as outlets, ceiling fans and dim-able lights add to the usability of the park and eventually make the Neighborhood Park one of the most desirable places to spend the evening in the neighborhood. The adult attractive elements shall typically be located in close proximity to the Built, Protective Shade Element.
