Overview
Parque Los Colegios occupies a recreational area between two communities in Moravia, Barrio Colegios Norte and Barrio Corazón de Jesús. The project addresses the entire park and organizes it into four sectors according to use, topography and access.
To the west, the existing playground and courts gain a weight gym that consolidates the sporting character of the area. To the east, the entrance is formalized in concrete and timber, with exercise equipment and street furniture to intensify use. To the south, a multipurpose pavilion with facilities for pets marks the entrance and connects to the north sector by a bridge over the creek. From there, a series of platforms and paths climb along the topography. Their angles in plan are calculated to open different views of the park at every turn.
The route ends at the ring, the culmination of the circuit and landmark of the complex. The ring frames a panoramic hill, a natural amphitheater overlooking the two neighborhoods the park brings together.
