Project details
The park is located on the outskirts of Monsummano (PT) and was created inside a hydraulic expansion tank that protects some residential and industrial areas from floods. Since much of the park can be submerged at certain times, it was built with poor materials such as concrete and COR-TEN steel. The park is divided into two distinct parts: a more urbanized one with Cor-ten steel steps that host games and spaces for rest and a more naturalistic part in which the trees are arranged following the poplar crops typical of the plains.
