	*Another point of limitation that I found in general in the city not just in this park is the use of not adequate vegetation for the weather and kind of land of the city; this causes an enormous cost of maintenance and misuse of water.		*Another point of limitation that I found in general in the city not just in this park is the use of not adequate vegetation for the weather and kind of land of the city; this causes an enormous cost of maintenance and misuse of water.

			But in general I think that the park is well done, since the landscaping in the city is relatively young.

			Points of Success:

			*The achievement to create a multi-functional space covering the main functions (necessities).

			*Achievement of suitability for a wide range of users

			Limitations:

			*I think that the natural slope of the terrain were the “Viewpoint” and “The Pigeons” are located should be better used; taking more advantage of this characteristic of the terrain; this two areas covers 7.3 ha this means 45% of the total area of the park and the area without real use because of the slope is 3.28 ha this means 20.5% of the total area of the park, so is a lot of area without a real use beside being a green area, because some parts are not even appropriate to walk or sit in, I would say even a little dangerous. The terrain could be better used with the creation of terraces.

			*Another point of limitation that I found in general in the city not just in this park is the use of not adequate vegetation for the weather and kind of land of the city; this causes an enormous cost of maintenance and misuse of water.
