1 centimeter = 74 meters
11*1 centimeter = 11*74 meters
11 centimeters = 814 meters
So the actual width is 814 meters
---------------------------------------------------
1 centimeter = 74 meters
18*1 centimeter = 18*74 meters
18 centimeters = 1332 meters
So the actual length is 1332 meters
=============================================================
Answer:
So in short, the actual length of the park is 1332 meters and the actual width of the park is 814 meters.
