Sporting and Recreational Facilities

A well-rounded park should cater to a wide variety of activities. Sports facilities should be designed for accessibility, ensuring users of all abilities can participate. Additionally, the park’s design should use natural resources to enhance both sustainability and user experience.

  • Consider sports diversity in park design, as games like soccer or basketball take up a lot of space but are not as widely used as other activities.
  • Enclose courts or ball play areas with fences to protect users, ensuring visibility.
  • Install drinking fountains near sporting spaces.
  • Increase seating near sports areas for family, friends, or caregivers.
  • Facilitate inclusive play, enabling participation from people with different abilities or backgrounds.
  • Use natural materials (stones, logs, etc.) for calisthenics or other systems to enhance biophilia and sustainability.
