Conceptual Design
Trancoso
01/01/2013
The age-old Trancoso Municipal Park, built in 1896, is already a space of undeniable historical, environmental and scenic value. The diversity and size of its existing tree species make it a privileged space for relaxation, meditation and leisure. The proposal – primarily focused on revitalizing the space – aims to be integrating, environmentally friendly and complimentary to the various existing infrastructures (water feature, playground and sports field).
As such, a small interpretive path crossing this beautiful wooded area will allow visitors to enjoy and appreciate nature, and admire the precious history of the municipality of Trancoso. On the eastern side, capitalizing on the dense forest grove, a small tree-climbing course is a natural addition.
To boost its appeal, make the park more attractive to youth and strengthen it as a gathering pole, a southward extension of the park is planned into a currently vacant area, where facilities will be built for skating, table tennis and traditional games.
