Proposal Number One – Foot Paths
Expand the footpath system from the back of the rare fruit garden across the lake connector by a foot bridge to the back of the eastern lake. Around the back of the eastern lake with a 3 way split, one path following the lakes edge to the back of the Galleria building. One split going over to the Lei Garden and the final one following the ditch to the back gate area. The path going to the Lei Garden will split and travel around both sides of the Felts Pond. The southern most side will trail up the tiers to the second tier for a view over the park and new succulent beds to the east and view of the new bamboo garden to the west.
