Park system & community landscape
A landscape of recovery
The project grows from the site’s hills, ravines, forests, water and long northern sunsets. Fireweed, one of the first plants to appear after fire, becomes a symbol of resilience and renewal.
Recreation as a small challenge
Routes, play and sport are organised as a sequence of micro-adventures. Movement through the park supports physical, emotional and social strength rather than passive consumption.
Two narratives overlap
A physical layer inspired by the Wheel of Balance intersects with a spiritual layer based on folk tales. One place can support sport, contemplation, play, festivals or solitude without being divided into rigid zones.
A park developed with its community
The first stage creates the main route and all-season thermal pockets. Later phases are shaped with local residents, turning users into co-authors of a landscape that remains active throughout the year.
