Shady trees

Shade trees There are many ideas that can be utilised for park upgrades. But, sadly, the focus tends to be on items people want to use for active engagement. Especially in summer, the parks that attract families, the more mature and kids especially are those with big shady trees with large canopies. These allow visitors to escape the sun, take picnics, and generally relax. Perhaps the best example in the (larger) region is the use of the Banyan trees at New Farm Park (Brisbane). While these trees are mature, the example demonstrates how valued they are by park lovers. So, my suggestion is to design the park around large spreading trees. And, when implementing the eventual design, select as mature trees as possible to assist in the earliest enjoyment of the shade.
