    However in the photo it also shows how beautiful Kings Park is although a major disappointing feature is the lack of people there due to the limited facilities and lack of culture targeted at different audiences of varying ages to entertain them. With the use of other forms of entertainment such as interesting water fountains and sculptures it could improve the amount of people going to Kings Park. It is important to maintain the environmental beauty of Kings Park while making it a more attractive tourist destination such as keeping empty space with lush green grass and the beautiful views of the city, it is also important not to cast a shadow over any of the memorials, by doing this it will be be protecting Kings Park as an area of natural beauty amongst the energetic throng of the city.
