The breif was for a beginner/ intermediate park to complement the others in the area. This is what was delivered...
The team selected this design for a number of reasons. Firstly the site is tiny being ~20m wide, so not big enough for a street plaza type. Just big enough for a flowy park.
It had to work for bmx as well so there is a spine and a sharp hip and the rock in the center to stall on. The spine and stall rock are features that are unique and designed to complement the other parks. What do you think?
