Landscape
AN INSPIRING GARDEN CLOSE TO THE HISTORIC CENTER
The urban park arises from a very clear conceptual scheme of paths and spaces. A diagonal is introduced to allow a short-cut from the various entrances of the park and it is emphasized by a pergola and a linear bench, which also defines a zoning change. The playground area extends from the bench to the granite seats that corresponds roughly to the existing ones but moved a few meters towards the pergola. This shift has been raised to give more space and promote the use of the groundfloors. Numerous fountains and two trees rows are placed in the park. The public lighting is characterized by street lamps designed specifically for this park. On the other hand, a greatly softer area is created in the southern side of the pergola. In that zone, a series of complementary elements to stretch or practice gymnastics accompany the paths to be followed walking or running. Here, the trees have an irregular arrangement, combining deciduous species with others that have evergreen canopies, so the park has great chromatic variety throughout the four seasons of the year. Last but not least, several children games complement the various uses of the park. In a nutshell, a park meant for the stimulation of the senses.
