Hrabůvka Medical Clinic Park

About this project

<p>In the city district of Ostrava-Jih, a new park will arise, which will serve all age categories of inhabitants. The project will be implemented in a city district characterised by the highest percentage of impermeable areas, highest susceptibility to heat and poor public greenery. The district is one of the most vulnerable areas to climate change.<br> The new recreation area with a pond will be created between an outpatient clinic and a revitalized area of block of flats called “U Severínu” and will include a newly built children playground. The space will be complemented by trees, bushes, perennial and meadow plants, and a new park furniture. The water surface of the pond will continue as a wooden plateau with white concrete stages of seemingly organic forms. Behind those stages a site modulation will take place. Large vegetation, to be planted behind the plateau, will cover, and isolate the site from the nearby building. On the other side of the biotope, a wooden, wavelike footpath will lead above the water surface towards a semicircle relaxation place.</p> <p>The self-cleaning capability of the biotope will be enhanced by a sewage plant and a waterside stripe of vegetation. As a result of the revitalization of the area, a polyfunctional space will arise, which will serve all age categories of people. The draft of the new, modern and nature-friendly park has been created in accordance with the strategic papers of the City of Ostrava (Adaptation Strategy https://bit.ly/3m5rrHc, Ostrava City Strategic Development Plan for 2017-2023 https://bit.ly/35vwf22), and it suits the needs of the inhabitants of Ostrava. The project will lead to a better water infiltration, lowering of the ambient temperature and improvement of the quality of public space.<br> &nbsp;</p>
