Geometric Park
A spectacular Geometric Park has spring at a barren slope that split two suburbs in Bilbao, Spain. The park square is a vibrant expanse of green space that connects the surrounding neighborhoods and creates a place for people to sit or stroll.
Sited between the districts of Txurdínaga and Otxarcoaga, the park has improved the urban spaces in the city’s outlying areas, creating connections between different neighborhoods and increasing the quality of life for residents.
The Geometric Park is designed by ACXT, and they chose to preserve the existing rock wherever possible, interspersing it with triangular patches of vegetation and reinforcing weak parts of the slope with sections of of concrete. The project has also renovated an old electricity substation into a children’s play area by tiling the site with sections of grass, flowers, and soft rubber. The new park creates a beautiful connecting space, and its inclined promenade provides stunning views over the city.
