Central Park, Ibiza City
The creation of the Central Park of the city of Ibiza will mean the achievement of a key public place for the town. The park, a spectacular green public space in the middle of the city, will be, when it is built, a focal point for the island.
Slightly elevated from the street level, the gently sloping topography presents visitors with a truly spectacular view of Ibiza. The rolling hills allow spectacular views of the city and the sea, with a panoramic backdrop with the surrounding mountain range. The lush greens of the park reflect the Mediterranean splendor, while the stiff details of white limestones on the hard surface suggest the rugged crests and peaks of the mountainous region of Ibiza. However, the general objective of creating a destination instead of a public road will also be achieved
The time of permanence will increase exponentially and the gardens will truly be an open space that will be used 24 hours a day. The central position of the park in the heart of Ibiza town, nestled between the most important public and cultural landmarks of the city, together with its proximity to a key public transport portal, that is, the train station in the vicinity is going to provide the configuration to ensure that the Central Park of Ibiza becomes a key facility of the city and one of the most prestigious public green spaces internationally.
Multifunctional in its purpose, the wide roads create opportunities for informal meetings, as well as work spaces and a fantastic adventure park for younger visitors. The paved Mediterranean limestone paths meander through 30 different forests of mediterranean, oceanic, holarctic and circumpolar trees, wisely selected, including oaks, birches, alders, beech and lime trees. The flower beds collect traditional plantation schemes from the traditional European royal parks.
This new proposal from International Agency Landscape will provide the opportunity to transform the existing space into a world-class park. The access routes through the park that connects the city with the Mediterranean mountains are examples of advanced design and are designed to have an optimal cost and level of maintenance, supporting an intensive public use.
