Background Information:

The beautification of the park will be important to the community by bringing them together, improve their lifestyles, boost the economy, and encourage environmental sustainability. The park needs some improvement and modernization. The community has expressed some concerns of the facilities which has impacted the utilization of the facilities. This negative perception of the park has impacted the morale of the community and affected the local businesses. The stakeholders have held meetings and done community wide surveys to learn the preferences of the community and their desired improvements for the park. After that, we worked with the local authorities and landscape architects to come up with a detailed plan of action. Next, we acquired the appropriate funding and resources for the project. Then, we found the skilled contractors needed to implement the beautification of the park. This project will bring in more opportunities for the community and draw in more people for the town. The current upkeep to the park is carried out by a small group of maintenance staff. These tasks include mowing, weeding, and collecting trash.

Project Goal:

The goal of the project is to better the welfare of the community and economy by promoting sustainable residential development and fosters community interaction.

The objectives are as follows:

· Objective 1: Improve the visual aesthetic of the park by implementing landscaping and infrastructure improvements to the park facilities and recreational amenities.

· Objective 2: Foster environmental sustainability within the park using eco-friendly practices and sustainable maintenance by using environmental-friendly landscape methods, and energy-efficient lighting and equipment.

· Objective 3: Engage the community in the beautification efforts through volunteer programs, educational initiatives, and events.

Through the success of these objectives, the project will play a part in the strategic business directive of bettering the welfare of the community and economic development.

Scope Statement:

The product and deliverables will be the Beautification of the Park. Our goal is to improve the visual aesthetic of the park. Improving the landscape and the infrastructure of the park facilities.

We plan to stay on budget and to finish the project within 18 weeks (about 4 months).

Basic Approach:

The strategy is to implement the technical landscaping renderings. We will get these renderings approved by the Department of Agriculture. After approval, we will begin construction. We will complete this project within 18 weeks (about 4 months).
