Menyecske Park, Budapest

Budapest

Constructed:
2008

The construct plans of the park was prepared on the basis of a request from the Municipality of Újbuda (District XI of Budapest). Our task was to amend and revise the design for the central square of the Őrmező residential area. While retaining the motifs of the previous designs, we have aimed to create a spatial structure that provides the main circulation routes and separate recreational opportunities for different age groups. Along the roads, on 40 cm wide slabs of limestone poems can be read by three poets (László Kálnoky, István Kormos, Zoltán Zelk) who lived in the residential area. The green surface divides the square into two parts: a small shaded rest area in front of the medical practice, with benches, chairs, a drinking fountain and a chess table. On the other side, a larger paved area has been created, which can also be used as an event space.
