Asia Park

A few days ago I traveled to various parks within the city. Of the four parks that I observed, one was significantly more successful than the rest. I realized, that good park design here, is all about the shade. I was at the park at 1:30pm on a Sunday and the park was very busy. Full of couples sitting in the shade; men having informal gatherings, and kids just running around in the 'wooded' area. No one was in the sun, and with all the people there was still plenty more shaded spaces that could be occupied.
This park is basically a large circle where you could see from one side of the park to the other side of the park. There is quite a few shaded areas on the outer side of the circle. Towards the center it is more open and can cater to large gatherings with ease.
Around the main path, are pergolas and other various shade structures. Not only was there two more formal paths that ran along the park; there was a more informal path within a wooded area on the outskirts of the park. The seating here was much more informal and looked to be well utilized.
