Landscaping plan

Here's our basic landscaping plan. I think the front is OK, I have much to say about the rear, where's the jet ski parking, fishing boat, the pool, the Bali hut, the garden office getaway, the sauna? A jungle to get lost in?

Too much lawn?

 My wife wants lots of unlimited grass lawn. Apparently kids are only allowed/want to play in the backyard. Over the very quiet road there is a park 3 times the size of the back yard, with a pond. There is also a proper park within 300m of the house with a football sized kicking area, kids playground etc. Then within 500m there is ~2 football grounds with change rooms, seating, warm up areas. Plus we are only about 800m from the river with various river beaches and what not.

Bona vista Park which is ~300m from our house. Contains swings, BBQ area, rope castle etc. While not as elaborate as some of the ones around like the massive complex at the Ponds, this is shared with a smaller community. Plenty of grass for a picnic. Could use a few more trees, but the two at the back are massive 100+ year old things.

Vermont boatramp - Well this is the Architects dream of what it should be

Nearby boat ramp upgrade. Apparently we will also be painting the grass a luminous green as well. Currently parking is problematic so any attempt to improve parking would be great. 

Ray Hadley is apparently moving into the area, so maybe its better if we keep our kids locked up in the backyard.
