This image shows a peaceful park scene at Wussow Park with a gazebo in the center, framed by green trees and well-manicured shrubs. A paved walkway leads to the gazebo, and a parallel gravel path curves around it. In the background, several tall, modern skyscrapers rise above the treetops, contrasting with the natural setting of the park. The sky is bright blue with light clouds, and the area appears lush and green.

Wussow Park Renovation Progress

A curved sidewalk runs alongside a road with orange construction barriers lined up on its left side. On the right, a black chain-link fence borders a grassy area. A fire hydrant and utility equipment are visible next to the sidewalk. Traffic warning signs can be seen in the background near the curve in the road. The sky is clear, and the area appears to be under construction or improvement.
