An inner area in the Nekkerspoel neighborhood in the north of Mechelen will have a school extension, a neighborhood parking lot and a park. Despite its limited scale, the spatial experience of the neighborhood park is maximized through the use of sloping lines and small level differences. This topography is cleverly used to prevent the parking from dominating the spatial image, this ensures an optimal play space. A long wooden bench gives the place additional resting and meeting opportunities. A long play garland provides a variety of play opportunities for young and old. Centrally through the park, a new path between Kalverenstraat and Grote Nieuwedijkstraat is provided to ensure future accessibility and use.
