Don't take my rating to much, im harsh on these type of things.
The original level i'd rate a 3/10, but im going to talk about the new one, its more important.

the biggest thing that i saw, which im quite surprised noone else mentioned, is your shadows.

Alot of servers do this, they have the shadow of a house on the east side *meaning the sun is to the west* yet the level next to it has the shadow facing west, where the sun is.

You sorta did that with the houses and the cliff, the cliff's shadow is to the north, yet the house's is on the east.
Plz don't tell me the lamps are giving the shadow, cause that won't happen, besides it shouldn't be that long in that case.

The next thing i'll point out is the lava house with the wooden shack... burn it, blow that baby up, it doesn't belong and ruins the whole level to me. Perhaps you might want to try a house made of wood or regular house tiles, just make it look not so "predifined." I'd also say to change the other building, it's not the best.

Now to give some life to it. If its not, perhaps make the trees walkbehindable. Maybe add some small lights to the lamps, not sure how great they'll be though. Personally i like the walkway, nice and dark, and they are hard to make curve without ruining it.
Now if you want the level to be used more, add a sweet npc to the park, perhaps a few gani actions that arn't npcs, but can be done in the park, like JumpRope or a fighting gani.

Now for bad tiling, i only see a few to add with the shadows.
First, you have half of a gate thing at the end on the left side.
Make the tree top a graphic, so i'll look like the gate is behind it.
I also found the right side of the top cliff is missing, add that in!.
Also, maybe delete three or four of the walkway tiles to the firehouse, make it look more real.

One last thing i forgot to add, get rid of the signs, they dont fit well, either add the outside sign, inside, or a graphic.

The current level i'd rate a 5/10 (appose from the old 3/10) with these changes, i'd probably change my opinion to a 7/10? which is quite good, as 10/10 is almost impossible to me, and 8/10 is like greatness.
