What ideas and pictures does anyone have for landscaping replacement?

We are getting ready to take down our 24 foot round above ground pool. I am looking for inexpensive ideas to fill the hole and make a seating area with a partial privacy wall. We already have a stainless steel washtub to use as a fire pit vessel. I want the wall to be used to hang several outdoor signs and nick nacks on. The deck will be removed.
This is the spot.

Since you already know the measurements, you could put a sun dial in the middle. Not hard to make. Also, any plants would do well in left-over pool sand. For your privacy wall, maybe a couple old doors would work. You could sand them and paint them all the same color, to hang your outdoor signs on. Be sure to use outdoor paint. Best of luck to you.
To fill in the hole, look for construction sites and ask if they have any dirt that they don't want. You may have to clean it out a little. After the hole is filled, get some sand If you couldn't save it from the bottom of the pool. Get patio blocks (look for sales). Level the area, tamp it down, lay the patio blocks and fill cracks with sand. Get some comfy seats, a few tables and enjoy the firepit.
Here is a firepit you might want to put there. The seating can be anything from a log to inexpensive patio furniture or even plastic ones. Hope this helps: https://www.hometalk.com/diy/build/fire-pits/backyard-firepit-37736140?r=2
