The resulting site functions both as a community space and a home for multiple sport and recreation activities. A dynamic and engaging supergraphic defines the play areas and creates a recognisable and lively destination for an ever growing community.

A one-kilometre-long path for walking and running was also incorporated into the project design. The path travels around the gardens, starting and ending in the multi-purpose area.
