Design a Park: Geometry and Budgeting Project
Plan a park with a fixed perimeter, calculate section areas and costs, and find the water volume for a pool. A cost table and grid support the design.

About this resource
Give students a park-design problem with a perimeter of fifty-six units and a choice of internal layout. They divide the space among six uses, calculate area-based costs and add fencing before finding the total project cost. A pool-depth requirement adds volume work, while comparing finished plans can reveal how equal perimeters produce different areas and budgets.
