Project Summary
Mega Park is located at Megabangna shopping mall. It is a new connection from the shopping mall to the future mixed use development where retail expansion, new tourist attractions and residential areas will be developed. The park becomes a major spine that strengthens the pedestrian circulation system for the overall development.
Mega Park has double layers of circulation. The upper level of circulation connects from the interior of the shopping mall through a bridge structure. At the park, the elevated walkway continues through various nodes of design which feature an amphitheater, tree top walk, and tree house. In each feature, an integrated universal design ramp is provided, so that everyone could have a seamless connection between the elevated walkway and ground level. The structure of the elevated walkway not only provides the vantage point for a new walking experience, but it also becomes a covered shelter for the walkway at ground level.
The park not only provides a space for community but also an environmental enhancement. Softscape design for the park is an exposition of different horticultural showcases. Ironwood is a dominant species that mixes with other tropical trees to create a forest effect for the tree top walk. Combinations of tropical shrubs are planted along the walkway of the park so that children could learn about the local planting species which normally are not seen in the city area. Perennial plants in the flowering field are planted in 3-meter-wide strips. These strips provide food and habitat for different insect species such as bees and butterflies. In addition, children could have fun along the bike lane and also learn about local flora and fauna.
Landscape design for Mega Park provides a place where families could spend their time together. The park design aims to create the safe environment and enjoyable experience for all users through a series of carefully planned and designed landscape features and diverse plantings. A deliberately thought out plan and design originating from its users.
