Observation Of Smale Riverfront Park
Through observation on any given day, Steven believes that Smale Riverfront Park does in fact show a diverse mix of users, from all age groups. The park was created in such a way that it offers people a variety of uses, including swings, picnic areas, walking/biking trails, and playgrounds; one’s built for kids in mind and others for an older population. However more can be done to better meet everyone’s needs. For instances activities could be organized on a weekly basis to not only get more people involved but to also better meet the needs of the entire population. Such activities can include workout classes, sports, movie nights, and so forth. This park according to Steven does play a role as a tourist attraction. Naturally people are drawn to spaces that offer scenic views, somewhere they can relax, and to something that offers amenities that will keep them busy. Smale Riverfront Park was designed in such a way to offer all these aspects and make all feel welcome. Tourists and residents alike are drawn to this park because it’s in walking distance from hotels and places of work, it offers parking, has a variety of activities, and it is a pretty accessible space. Not only does the park attract interaction during the day time but it also draws crowds during the night time as well. The colorful waterfalls the Schmidlapp stage, and the many restaurants and bars nearby make the space inviting during all times of day.
