AWARENESS PARKS

   
   
    The AWARENESS PARKS - are FREE models of concept parks (Basic structure of buildings, costing, lesson plans, general ideas) that any community could download to take what they like and leave what they don't and add something new to create an Awareness Park of their own for less that $50,000 (buildings included). If a park has the key elements that make up an Awareness Park (eg. Tapa Coffee Shop with glass wall and attached daycare) they could call themselves an Awareness Park and be added to the map.

AWARENESS PARKS - are Spaces where people can come together in community and learn about ways to understand Indiginous Stories, Sciences, Astronomy, Nature, Nature's Design and Behaviour, Design Principles & Design Processes, Properties of Natural Materials, Respect (for self, others, nature, the world and our universe), and 'How Everything Fits Together Holistically' or 'Our Place in Our World and Universe'.
