Steps to Complete the Activity
Step 1: Planning and Development (Group Discussion)
In your group discussion board, brainstorm the purpose of the park, its key features, and target users (e.g., children, families, elderly).
One group member posts the team’s summary (3–5 sentences).
Step 2: Descriiptive Design (Group Discussion)
Collaboratively outline the main components of the park (e.g., playground, benches, walking paths, garden areas). Use a shared document (e.g., Google Docs, Office 365) to list components and decide on the final list.
Post the finalized list as a reply to the summary.
Step 3: Pre-Construction (Group Discussion)
Create a simple project timeline and list necessary preparations (e.g., site clearance, permits). Discuss and finalize this in your group.
Post the timeline and preparations in a follow-up reply.
Step 4: Procurement (Group Discussion)
List the materials and equipment needed for the park. Collaboratively decide on a hypothetical budget using a shared spreadsheet or document.
Post the budget allocation and decisions in your discussion board.
Step 5: Construction (Group Discussion)
Discuss the sequence of construction activities (e.g., site preparation, equipment installation, planting trees). Assign roles within your group (e.g., site supervisor, logistics manager).
Post the activity sequence and role assignments as your next reply.
Step 6: Post-Construction (Group Discussion)
Imagine the opening ceremony, maintenance plans, and community engagement ideas (e.g., events, regular clean-ups).
Post your plans as the final reply in the thread.
tep 2: Presentation
Each group creates a brief summary of their park project, covering: (Group Discussion)
Purpose and features of the park
Key steps in the construction process
Budget allocation and decisions
Challenges anticipated and solutions devised
The presentation can be submitted in one of the following formats:
Text: A 250–300 word written summary.
Video: A 3–5 minute recorded presentation uploaded to Canvas.
Visual Presentation: A single-page infographic, slide deck (3–5 slides), or poster.
Post your presentation in the Community Park Presentations Discussion Board. (Class Discussion – Reply to the original assignme
Step 3: Peer Feedback and Reflection (Class Discussion – Reply to the original assignment)
Peer Feedback: Review two other groups’ presentations. Share your feedback by commenting on:
What you learned from their approach
Any creative ideas or solutions they shared
Suggestions for improvement or questions you have
Personal Reflection:
In the same discussion board, create a post answering these questions:
What did you learn about the construction process?
What was the most enjoyable or challenging part of the activity?
How can this process be applied to a real-world construction project?
Alright this should be the groups required here for the class

Yes, I believe James is in our group.
Let’s go through each step together, sharing ideas, making decisions, and collaboratively refining each concept. I’ll start:
The indoor structure would wrap around the outdoor climbing area, creating an enclosed yet open environment connected to the base of a cliff. Inside, there would be artificial climbing walls designed for all skill levels, from beginners to advanced climbers. The outdoor section would cater to more experienced climbers, utilizing the natural rock face, with strategically placed artificial bouldering structures for additional challenges.
The park’s primary components would be the artificial and natural climbing structures, as mentioned earlier. To support climbers, water refilling stations would be available throughout the park, ensuring hydration during physical activity. Additionally, community events would be organized year-round to foster engagement and strengthen connections among visitors.
If you can start working on the budget allocation, that would be greatly appreciated.
My role in this project will be the project manager.
Since this is a rock climbing park/gym, regular clean-ups will be necessary throughout the day, though not as frequently as a traditional gym. As previously mentioned, community-building events—such as movie nights and performances—will be a core part of the park’s experience.

Ok here is the Budget Allocation:
1. Building Cost
Indoor Climbing Wall: provision for varying difficulties and safety features.
Outdoor Wall: the investment in rough though of rock and the superstructure of boulder.
The Building Shell: Hep making your building hold both outdoors and indoors.
2. Safety and Equipment
Climbing Gear: the rentals of harnesses, ropes, helmets and climbing shoes.
Security Systems: Falling mats, harnesses, devices for belaying, and the set-up of a first-aid station.
3. Infrastructure
Water Supply Rest Area for little stops, green tents and food booths, or restaurants.
Water Refilling Stations: Set-up multiple mobile fill-up stations.
Water: Spickets must be accessible.
4. Staff
Instructors and Safety arrested Salaries for the well trained attendee to bypass and instruct climbing.
Maintenance and Cleanup: Regular cleanup for serious wear and tear issues in such a physically active area.
5. Community Integration
Event Planning: Budget build up for organizing special events like movie nights, competitions, and performances.
Marketing and Promotion: Different initiatives aiming to attract visitors and to build a healthy climbing community.
6. Technology
Booking-and-Management Systems: Software systems for booking reservations, waivers, and memberships.
Security Systems: Cameras and security staff are needed to ensure the safety of all climbers.
7. Legal and Administrative
Insurance: Would need broad insurance to cover accidents and liabilities.
Permits and Licenses: All is needed for the construction and operation purposes.
8. Contingency
Miscellaneous Cost: To allocate a portion of the total costs as finished cost.

Thank you for providing the allocation Reinhardt!
Ill add some extra input for each option:
1.Building Cost:
Foundation: Concrete and wood forms for setting up and pouring in the concrete to create the buildings foundation.
3. Infrastructure:
Electrical: prepare electrical outlets and light fixtures for the proposed building
Internet: Provide internet access which would need the integration of fiber optic connection or DSL (telephone lines).
Sewer System: Piping for Implementing a sewer system that connects to the municipal waste sewer system.
Project Timeline:
Schematic Design Phase:
After the program is established, begin the schematic design phase.
Consultant Engagement:
Once the schematic phase is complete and the scope is defined, begin contacting necessary consultants (civil, landscape, soils, structural) for permit acquisition and site work.
Design Development Stage:
After all consultants are on board, the architect, alongside the consultants, starts the design development stage. This phase refines the design to comply with codes and regulations, which may lead to changes in the original design.
Bidding Stage:
Begins after the design development phase, allowing contractors to assess the project’s material costs and building requirements based on the finalized design and facade.
Construction Documentation:
Starts during or after the bidding stage. All consultants provide the necessary plans to build the structure as closely as possible to the agreed final design.
Permit Acquisition:
Begins once the project manager receives construction documents from the consultants. This phase involves creating submission packages for various agencies (e.g., Fire Department, Building & Safety) for approval.
Site Preparation:
Once permits are acquired, site grading and preparation begin. This process will take several months for the proposed structure.
Construction:
Starts after the site is prepared and the concrete foundation is poured. During construction, change orders will be issued to accommodate any unforeseen issues or improve the original design.
As-built Package:
After construction is completed, an As-built package is provided to the owner/client. This package includes all changes made during construction and the final design of the structure as it stands on the site.
