Finally figured out the new park's map after getting lost three times

Our town opened a new park last month with a big, colorful map at the entrance. I tried to find the pond from the main path, but the map's trails were drawn in the same green as the grass, with no labels. After walking in circles for 20 minutes on three separate visits, I realized the 'you are here' dot was placed over the only bridge shown. The lesson is that a pretty map is useless if you can't read it while standing there. Has anyone else found a public map that was more art than guide?

Took a photo of the map on my phone so I could zoom in on the tiny trail lines.

Ever get lost at the zoo, too?

I mean, I get turned around every single time. Those maps are never as helpful as they look, you know? Maybe it's just me but I always end up by the bathrooms when I'm trying to find the big cats.
