Dimension

Actual dimensions:

Park = 600 feet by 1000 feet

Swing set = 25 feet by 100 feet

Swing set on the scale drawing= 0.5 inch by 2 inches

Hence:

Dimension of park on drawing:

Width = 600×1/50

Width = 12inches

Length = 1000×1/50

Length= 20inches

In conclusion the dimensions of the park on the scale drawing are 12 inches and 20 inches.
