“My dream park has a water fountain, slides, and a waterfall. There are plenty of chairs for parents to watch their children play. There is a volleyball net in the sand so people can get hot playing and then cool off in the water. The volleyball net is near a large waterfall. The waterfall has lots of mist that cools off the volleyball players as they play. There is water on the slides so the riders can go down fast and land in a river that goes around the park. When people float on the river they can get out at other places of the park.”

“The theme of my park is a dream space park. In this picture people are inside a dome shaped space park. In this park there is a big tree and trail that keep the park living. The trail is called a “solar walk” which absorbs heat to create energy. On the trees, the barriers (or red dots) are solar berries. The berries absorb heat to also create energy. On the very bottom right corner, there is a space park merchandise shop. In this shop, you can buy Speed juice, Galaxy burgers, and Levitation candy. Speed juice makes you very speedy. Galaxy burgers can boost your energy with every bite, and Levitation candy (which is most popular) makes you float. Lastly, Comet bus (which is next to Saturn) is a bus that takes you in and out of space park. The reason I drew this park is because we should use solar energy a lot more often to save our Earth from becoming an unsafe place. I also drew this picture because imagination is not limited and also because I love art.”

“My dream park is called VR Pixel Park. The park is for people in the city that want to go places but don’t want to deal with transportation. It is also where people go to play games like paint ball without having to feel pain. When you enter you can buy a time slot and you get a key card. Once you’ve got your key card you can go to your pod. If you get hungry when gaming, you can go to the food court. When your time slot is over your key card will start beeping loudly. Each pod contains one VR headset and many VR accessories. All the pods are powered by solar panels that are on the roof of the food court.”

“My park will be called Axolotl Adventures. Axolotls are endangered and need a safe place to thrive. My park will have food and water for them. I made my park into the shape of an axolotl. The head is a relaxing room to calm down and take a nap. The front part of the body is a place where you can run around and have fun. The back part of the body is a place where you can swim underwater. To get there you can go up a ramp on either side and slide in! The tail is a place where you can wade in two inches of water or sunbathe on one of the rocks. My park will be on top of a pond and the arms and legs of the axolotl are walkways to the edge of the pond. I will have poles going to the bottom of the pond to keep my park up and the floor will be made out of wood. The gills of the axolotl will be the restrooms, (girls on the right and boys on the left). I really think if this park was a reality axolotls’ population might begin to grow!”
