The student has analyzed the issues regarding the open space.
solving the parking by elevating a corner is interesting as it will hide parking from the park and provide a shady restrictive and monitored space for vehicles.
The elevated bicycle track ends within the park which will provide a conflict with pedestrians. The space under the bicycle track is not clear. The track could have been used for pedestrians to cross over to the other side of the park without crossing roads. The pedestrian linkage to various roads via the park is missing.
It is important to connect drainage patterns of an open space to the adjoining paved / constructed area. An open space can mitigate flooding by providing a reservoir for rain water rather than raising the park level and aggravating flooding in adjoining areas.
Pavement can be minimized to replenish ground water. 'Development' of an open space in an urban setting does not require a lot of paved areas.
