Hi Elizabeth, I like how you consider your location on different scales, and relate them to one another! It really helped me get a scope of how it can be accessed, who has access to it, and so on. However, I really appreciate the hand drawn map for its simplification of the space, that way it effectively communicates the purpose of the park and the people it caters to.

Hi Elizabeth! Like Kelly, I really enjoyed all of your figures and how they clearly show where different residential and commercial sections are in relation to each other.

I think discussing who is included and excluded from the park is a great next step. Some of my questions about this social interaction are:
- What is the role of the actual Veteran's memorial? What activities happen directly surrounding that space? How does it shape the flow of foot traffic through the park?
- Why are there parking passes? How much do they cost? Are they for the VM park generally or specifically for attending events?
- When people go to the park in groups, what do those look like and how do they interact with other groups. I especially think it's cool that there are adult and children's leagues utilizing the same space.
