Wayfinding in Hyde Park (GRC 377 Post 5)

One of my favorite places to relax is Hyde Park, and Kensington Gardens. I am lucky enough to be living right across the street. I often go on runs here, and it is such an enormous place (about 600 acres!). Thankfully, they have signs all over the place to tell you which directions to go. 

You can tell from this picture that there are so many different paths you can take, so it is absolutely necessary to have these signs. They are designed in a way that they don't take away from the naturey environment of the park, but still stand out to where you can see them and figure out which direction to go. I can tell that these signs are something that the designers of the park thought a lot about, and not just something they just placed there.


I thought these sign-like things were really cool. I didn't really get a very good picture, but it was a giant sun-shape thing on a walking path that was in the center of a lot of other paths. I though this was a really creative and cool design. It is also really helpful!!
