A park is 300+yds by 500+yds
a 4 wide foot walking path: 4ft=%284%2F3%29yd wide yds walking path deducted from each side of the length and the width
green space area=%28300-2%284%2F3%29%29+yd%2A%28500-2%284%2F3%29%29+yd
=%28300-8%2F3%29yd%2A%28500-8%2F3%29yd
=(2972%2F3%29yd)*(4972%2F3%29yd)
=147873.78yd%5E2+
