LOCATION

In this project I aim to keep most of the park’s components untouched to preserve its environment. This means components such as trees, courts and pitches will stay in the park. However I will be moving the courts to the ‘play and outdoor gym area’ to free up space so that there is sufficient space to create my ‘leisure & entertainment’ facility there.

The goal of my project is to improve my local park, Hylands Park, in the field of ‘Leisure and Entertainment’. Hylands Park does have its basic facilities, such as courts and pitches, and although Hylands Park does have a circular walkway which acts as its 'selling point', I believe that Hylands Park is missing components that makes it stand out when compared to other parks - for example Harrow Lodge Park which has a gym that acts as an attraction.

Therefore, to execute my goal I will design some sort of ‘Leisure and Entertainment’ building that will create contrast with itself and the surrounding environment. I will be using a variety of materials and shapes as well as other techniques I've learnt through research on existing buildings.

Existing Plan View:

There is a large circular walkway connected with an extended path leading to 3 entrances in Hylands Park. Building my structure near an entrance would be a good idea.
