Make sure you can obtain any required permits and partner with someone who knows how to clear land so your public park can become a reality. Survey your community to see what amenities they want the new park to have. Decide on a budget and obtain funds through community fundraising, grants and other support measures. Choose playground equipment suitable for various age groups, like slides, bridges, ramps and swings. Consider adding special areas for adults and pet owners, like outdoor exercise equipment and a dog park.
