Answer: The dimensions on the map are 10 cm by 15 cm, so the area on the map is 10 cm × 15 cm = 150 cm^2.

Since the scale is 1 cm = 50 m, every 1 cm on the map corresponds to an actual distance of 50 m. Therefore, the actual dimensions of the park are 10 cm × 50 m/cm = 500 m by 15 cm × 50 m/cm = 750 m.

The actual area of the park is the product of the actual dimensions, so the actual area is 500 m × 750 m = 375000 square meters.
