Design Inspiration:

I was eager to design a model of a park for BDP series 2 to highlight the importance of green spaces in an urban environment. I also have many fond memories of visiting local parks during my childhood, which provided inspiration for some of the details included in the model. It was my intention to keep the model at a reasonable scale and part count, hence I explored the concept of a "pocket park". The relatively small footprint of the park made it a challenge to select what details to include. I tried my best to include a lot of different details to ensure an interesting and varied building experience. The most challenging parts of the model to design were definitely the trees. They needed to be strong, well-shaped and full of foliage. I hope you enjoy the model as much as I did designing it.

Design Details:

Add a splash of greenery to your city downtown area with the Modular Pocket Park. The park provides a sheltered, peaceful place for city residents to relax, spend a lunch break, meet friends and enjoy recreational activities all in the midst of nature.

The paved sidewalk features a variety of details including an overturned trash can, an electric vehicle charging point, a lamppost and planters overflowing with colourful flowers. The park is bordered by a black wrought iron fence.

A sparkling fountain makes a wonderful centrepiece for the park, which is surrounded by an expansive lawn. The lawn features an ornate bench, a picnic table, a basketball hoop, a ping pong table and a duck pond with reeds and water lilies. The park has an abundance of vibrant foliage in the form of a bush, potted shrubs, a corner planter, various flowers, a cypress tree and an oak tree. Many animals rely on the park as a habitat - these include a ladybug, a bee, a duck, pigeons and squirrels.

The model also includes a few references to some of the most recent modular buildings. Can you spot them all?
