Welcome to New Element! And a nice screen to start with!
You seem to have a good feel for architecture which is a good start, even though it seems a little bare at this stage. It could use some spicing up or adding a dash of colour accents. I suggest taking a look at the top rated parks on the site for inspiration. But for the most part its decent.
The biggest issues in this screen are however the foliage and the use of the LOTR rocks.
The LOTR rocks work mainly if you manage to integrate them well into the landscape and manage to cover up the edges with foliage and 1K rock objects. That's something to keep in mind as now it looks unnatural.
In terms of foliage, here's a tip. Don't just scatter foliage, clump it together to form underbrush.Stuff like grass, bushes and flowers under the trees make them look more convincing, like in this screen. I would also suggest to stick with the game's default colour for the trees as for the most part they look the best.
Apart from that, keep building. Practise makes perfect they say!
Welcome to NE! An interesting first screen for sure.
Jappy nailed it with the foliage, so I won't elaborate.
The archy is decent, but get rid of/change the color of those yellow diagonal windows on the towers flanking the entrance. They stick out in a bad way.
I can see a very corner of the parking lot, and see you've used some trim for the spots. There's a parking space object floating around somewhere which looks more like lines on the pavement than that, and it will also probably save you a few objects (which can be helpful if your park is big).
Overall, great first screen, good to see you here, and keep building!
Welcome to NE, H.L! You have a very nice first screen here!
If I were to better anything, your foliage is rather lacking at first view. As Jappy mentioned above, as several others did, clumping your foliage together and adding bits of underbrush here and there would help massively.
May I also mention that perhaps changing the colours of the tall-grass would help the foliage out imperatively; hence, clump your foliage, mix it up, and you'll get something nice!
Good first screen, once more. I hope to see ya around!

As far as first-post unfinished entrance screens go, this is off the charts. Very interesting concept and you've developed it believably.

Welcome to NE! Great first screenshot!
I agree about the foliage, but you definitely seem to have an eye for nice architecture. Hopefully you stick around!
