park design
Outdoor space layout
Park design is the planning and arrangement of public green spaces, encompassing layout, landscaping, pathways, and amenities.
The field balances aesthetic considerations with practical needs—drainage, accessibility, traffic flow, gathering spaces.
The park design incorporated native plantings to reduce water usage.
Urban park design often addresses density and community needs that rural or suburban contexts don't face.
