To find the area of the park, we need to find the area of the triangle-shaped park.

Let's say the base of the triangle is 10 meters and the height is 6 meters.

Area of a triangle = (base x height) / 2
Area of the triangle = (10 x 6) / 2
Area of the triangle = 60 / 2
Area of the triangle = 30 square meters

Now, let's say the city plans to plant 5 trees for every square meter.

Number of trees to be planted = 30 x 5
Number of trees to be planted = 150 trees

Therefore, the area of the park is 30 square meters.
