When land is scarce, the scant free space remaining becomes extraordinarily valuable. Its sometimes awkward location has to become an opportunity to deliver public programmes in unexpected spaces to the city. Their residual character saved them from planning in their day and now they can be used to correct deficiencies.
The park has been reactivated by programming activities for young people through a system of private sponsorship. Apart from the improvements to the sports facilities, there is also a new skate park, a climbing wall and the square renovation for events.
