What type of park do we consider Commando Park to be? Is it a passive park? Is it a recreational park? Is it an activity park, perhaps a novelty park?

Can Commando Park be all the things that we want it to be while preserving its cultural significance/cultural landscape? Is it a transformative park transforming with the seasons? Is it transformative due to the multiple and varied existing places that are meaningful, quaint and in need of some help – sometimes?
