To find the width of the park, we need to divide the area of the park by its length.

Area = 1.36x10^8 ft^2
Length = 1.6x10^4 ft

Width = Area / Length

Width = (1.36x10^8 ft^2) / (1.6x10^4 ft)

When dividing numbers in scientific notation, we subtract the exponents:

Width = 8.5x10^3 ft

Therefore, the width of the park is 8.5x10^3 ft.
