Well, I see worn grass,(sandy soil?) move in some soil and replant a section or two at a time. Rope it off to keep foot traffic off until it gets established, A few flowering crab apple trees add a lot as do Dogwood trees and Magnolia. Personally, I'd try to stick with native shrubbery. For the sake of upkeep, stay away from such things as forsythia or any bushy shrubbery which only becomes a magnet for windblown trash. The help never seems willing to go "foraging" deep into those things for trash. Simple flower gardens, small in size, 6x12 or so along the paths serve to break up the area some. The pictures show large areas of sameness. That being said, make sure whatever you put keeps interference with mowing to a minimum... no line trimming if possible. Something as simple as a small tree, nothing that will grow too tall, or a medium sized rock serves as a focal point within the garden and will not interfere with mowing. I worked for 34 years in the State Parks and Forests and like you, had to deal with such things. There are a lot of good books on landscape design available for municipal lands. Worth getting. Keep it simple and keep it simple to maintain. MY 2 cents. Cal
