Nice!
Great idea! You need to post some signs so people who are enjoying the park might be encouraged to donate.
Maybe people might take this the wrong way, but you could make it fun, like have a troll mascot.
Or you could have a sign for all the people who use the park as a shortcut. This would be a way of collecting a toll.
