The park will be given a beautiful upgrade, while strengthening its modernist character and by adding new user functions. The beautiful existing trees are an important startingpoint for the design of the park. The central pond will be renewed, so the borders will fit better with the building. Around the water element we designed a large seating feature. The rainwater will be disconnected from the building and will be visibly led to the helophyte filter in the park. When there is too much rainwater, the water will be led to a swale, where the water can infiltrate on a natural way.

A stretched area of perennials on the corner of the ‘Enschedesestraat’ will create a colourful entrance to the city. The use of colourful plants will make the park a real attraction for young and old. A mixture of ornamental grasses and perennials create a natural image and varies colourful accents through all the seasons.

A clearly recognizable main axis will lead the visitors along the highlights of the park and will make a clear connection through the building to the ‘Drienerstraat’. Additional the main axis will also connect the park to the near ‘Prins Bernardplantsoen’.
