To find the area of a rectangular park, you multiply the length by the width. In this case, the dimensions of the park are \( \frac{7}{10} \) mile and \( \frac{2}{7} \) mile.
The area \( A \) can be calculated as follows:
\[
A = \text{length} \times \text{width} = \frac{7}{10} \times \frac{2}{7}
\]
To multiply the fractions, use the rule that states you multiply the numerators together and the denominators together:
\[
A = \frac{7 \times 2}{10 \times 7} = \frac{14}{70}
\]
Now, simplify \( \frac{14}{70} \):
\[
\frac{14}{70} = \frac{1}{5}
\]
Thus, the area of the park is
\[
\frac{1}{5} \text{ square miles.}
\]
