It is given that park is 125 m long and 65 m broad
It is clear that it is rectangular shaped with length $=125 \mathrm{~m}$ and breadth $=65 \mathrm{~m}$
We know that the area of a rectangle is $=$ length $\times$ breadth
$\Rightarrow$ length $\times$ breadth $=125 \times 65=8125 \mathrm{~m}^2$-------(i)
Now, the length and breadth of an outer rectangle is

The area of the outer rectangle is 
$\Rightarrow$ length $\times$ breadth $=131 \times 71=9301 \mathrm{~m}^2$------(ii)
Area of path is (ii) - (i)$\Rightarrow 9301-8125=1176 m^2$
Therefore, the area of the path is $1176 \mathrm{~m}^2$
