PRELIMINARY AND MAIN LANDSCAPE DESIGN PROJECT

By the new form of an existing playground the space has been divided into two zones – the children’s playground area and the fitness park area for adults, so that both children and adults can use playground equally.

The basic design element of the playground is a circle, to give the playground an interesting look and playfulness, which is basically the main purpose of a playground.
The children’s playground area consists of a set of playgrounds with a playhouse, a swing, a climber playset and slide. The sets of playgrounds are bordered by a park curb within which pebbles are found as a base for each circled playground.

The playground area is protected from a residential building by a semi-circle of bushy herbs – a plant species of Choisya ternata, but there are also open moves connected with the grassy surface so that children can run outside the children’s playground area and play on the grass.

Fitness area for adults includes a small fitness park with various exercise equipment for all muscle groups, so that full training can be done in the park.Below the fitness device, a minimum distance of 3 meters was observed. On certain parts of the zone are the lines of bushy herbs – evergreen plant species (Osmanthus x burkwodii), so that the users of the park are given the feeling of intimacy and are protected from the view from the road and from the surrounding buildings.

The children’s playgrounds and the fitness park area are divided by the newly planned paved semicircular path that connects the existing path on the north-east side of the area. The playground is bordered by a hedge on the south and east sides (plant species Eleagnus x ebbingei), as a safety fence from the road, noise and dust from the road.
