Implanted on former railway lands, the Central Park succes to recover this abandoned space, creating a public facility that improves the quality of life of 120,000 inhabitants. The project introduces the nature within the city and reinforces the positive values that the emptiness had in the site, considered as a vocation of free use. Thus the park is conceived as a public space opened to a multiplicity of sports and cultural activities, that extend the sense of recreation and contemplation of the nature to the social encounter that life in the city offers.

The layout incorporates the geometry of the ancient railroad, not only as a topographic, but also as a symbolic element. The pedestrian bridges integrate the whole with the sheds that will be recycled for events and cultural activities. The park functions as a major factor in the regeneratin of the area, mostly residential, considering its border as an invigorating element for the immediate surroundings.

More than 1,200 trees were planted, creating diverse itineraries and routes that generate changing experiences and situations with long and short views, sounds, different light intensity, water reflections, colors and nocturnal light. The clock esplanade can be used for outdoors recreational activities such as exhibitions, workshops, cinema, dance and commemorative celebrations. The greeness and the water, harmoniously combinated, contribute to transform this space into an actual oasis in the city.
