The vision for Royal Park is to develop user friendly and multipurpose spaces that will benefit a variety of community groups and promote sustainability. A key challenge of the design was to create a balance between active / structured and passive / unstructured uses.
The scope of design works included:
- provision of senior and junior soccer pitches
- siting and lay out of a new community building
- north facing building entrance and plaza to provide a hub for community events
- community gardens and food forest
- community gathering space with shelter and cooking facilities
- children’s natural play space
- consideration of environmental sustainability including reuse of rain water roof run off and stormwater run off
In June 2020 funding for the construction of the 2 pitches, irrigation and drainage, fencing, landscaping and lighting was announced. Construction will continue throughout the year to be ready for next year’s soccer season. See more information here
