Convert 300 feet to yards first.


300\text{ ft.}*\frac{1\text{ yd}}{3\text{ ft}}=100\text{ yards}

Now we have given as 200 yards long and 100 yards wide, solve for perimeter to determine how far she will walk


\begin{gathered} P=2l+2w \\ l=200\text{ yards} \\ w=100\text{ yards} \\ P=2(200)+2(100) \\ P=400+200 \\ P=600\text{ yards} \end{gathered}

Therefore, she will walk 600 yards around the rectangular park.
