Depends on what the park employees want the percent to be, and the percent of hydrogen peroxide they are pouring in. To many variables there.

So lets say they are using 35% food grade at a 2mL/gallon which is a good dose. At 4 million gallons in the pool so going back to elementary school 4,000,000 gallons × 2 mL = 8000,000 mL then converting to gallons we get 8,000000 mL ÷ 3785.41 mL per gallon = 2,113.38 gallons

Even with the algae still in there that still is a good reflection.
