since it is in a park, it would be very imaginative and cool to carve steps right into it
A huge tree like that is amazing to see, even on its side
or build a bridge over it
I would also suggest getting it up off the ground to retard rotting

Have you ever wandered through a sequoia forest?
Large trunks do not rot away, they slowly sink into the soil somewhat, but remain useful for lumber for centuries.
