The basement park will:

  • Attract users from all age groups
  • Encourage a diverse use of experiences and activities for the local community
  • Invite regional interest
  • Provide an environment which ties with their proposed surrounding land use and character
  • Refer to the site’s previous character to present a cultural link to what a singular prominent industry provided to this particular region.
