Parque Central de Campo 5, central park

Overview

Campo 5 is the only community with a central park on the route to Tortuguero National Park, a leading destination on the northern Caribbean coast. That condition defines the project, a space that serves both local residents and those who stop on their way to the coast. The park is organised into two zones, plaza and sports, wrapped by a public perimeter.

The plaza zone holds the civic character of the park, with a kiosk, a raised plaza that works as a stage, gardens and the lush existing trees, which are preserved. The perimeter reinforces its role as a stopover with wide sidewalks, a bus stop, parking and tourist information points. The sports zone formalises the multi-use court and covers it. The roof aligns with the entrance axis of the Campo 5 school across from the park, giving direct shelter to children leaving class. A bike lane runs along the rear edge and connects with the adjacent homes.

Lighting extends every use into the night. A single lighting system serves both the safety of residents and the scale of visitors.
