Park - Timber Lake Park

[Zoomer36]

A 100 x 100 park i created for fun using an old bench that was laying around on my hard drive. Reviews welcome!

Dude... This looks FANTASTIC! It's a wonder why no one took interest in this, because I see that this took many hours to complete. That's not an easy thing to do. Excellent job, good mate!

There seems to be a bit of overuse of 1 type of greenery: a 1/4 tile bush. It really stands out.

@imlegos

Do you EVER say anything nice about someone else's work?

Why don't you post one of your parks and let the rest of us nitpick it apart!

My grandfather always said that unless someone asks for your opinion - keep yours to your self.

Remember opinions are like assholes, everyone has one one and some are bigger than others!

 

@Zoomer36

I think your park is pretty cool!

Calm down, Imlegos didn't mean it like that. I don't think he would've reacted if he didn't like it at all and if you show something to the public you open yourself up to getting comments, those being positive but they also could be negative. The bushes are something done in excessive amount and someone might not like it if such items are used in such amount. So as this is something posted publicly Imlegos is in it's right to say something bad about it, only being rude if Zoomer36 has said so that he doesn't want to receive any tips and just wants to show it off to the people who will like so.  But as Zoomer36 has said that he is open for reviews, Imlegos is fully in his right to posting a criticising comment.

While true, he could have worded it nicer. I also find imlegos' reactions sometimes too dramatic, and would like to ask him to stop that.

An observation on my part. I live within 6 hours drive from 6 completely different amusement parks (Cedar Point, Kings Island, Six Flags over Mid-America, Great America, Michigan Adventure and Kentucky Kingdom). My daughter and I visit at least 2 of them every year because we are rollercoaster fanatics. I also travel a lot and try and visit new park when possible. I have probably been to over 75 parks in my life (some of them unfortunately no longer exist).

The one single thing in most parks is that the trees and especially the bushes and shrubs are always trimmed and well maintained. Although the trees may be different most of the bushes are of the same type because that is what grows best in their region of the country and they are the easiest to maintain, so it is not uncommon to see the same type of shrubs thru out an entire park.

I understand that some people think that diversity is king and that is their choice. I just don't think nitpicking little things need to be done. Look at the project as a whole entity and the diversity in ride selection and the manor in which they are being presented. Take in consideration the structures, coloring and surroundings. Also how the rides are interwoven together and the way they compliment each other.

I will now step down from my soapbox. Remember "It is better to keep silent and be thought of as a fool, than to open your mouth and confirm it!"

I never was good at constructive criticism...

I'm just gonna go sit in my corner now.

It was constructive if you'd ask me, but maybe it would have been better like this:

"Good to see the empty spaces filled with greenery, but some diversity would help to not make it look repetitive."

[Zoomer36]

I haven't been on this site in quite some time, so it came as a pleasant surprise to find that this had gotten some attention. Thanks to all who replied, I'm glad to hear all your opinions and I appreciate the compliments all around. :D. @imlegos I did ask for constructive criticism, and appreciated your comment. The primary reason that bush was used almost exclusively is because the bench did not include any others that I felt worked well with the look I was going for. I will readily admit that there was perhaps a bit too much of that particular object in my park. Please note that your comment was not taken as an insult by this humble park builder.

Posting the park in this forum is pretty much the same as asking for the opinions of others. Whil @imlegos' response did seem a bit callous, he was only trying to provide feedback to the park creator.
