The idea with the duck is genious and well executed! The map also looks really good. Nice usage of custom textures and models.
Even with fastvis, the ocassional tree model will disappear due to visleaf disconnections. You could mitigate this a lot by editing the models and put the origin point higher up. This will solve most of the issues.
Another point of improvement would be sound. The map is dead silent. Some splashing water around the fountain or a sound for the jumppads would go a long way.
The only secret I found till now is the HL logo but I'm not sure what that does?
I often keep Half-Life running in the background while I make small changes and quickly recompile maps. I then restart the map through the console and test again. I can verify that this is a bad way to test trigger_changelevels. Even though it's all perfectly set up, I ended up on world coordinate 0,0,0. You really have to restart Half-Life completely if you make any changes to the changelevel triggers.

In SC the black_hidden texture is not drawn. It's also hidden.
