In a corner of Melbourne’s historic Box Hill Gardens a contemporary space has “risen” from the landscape, providing recreation and event facilities for a diverse range of uses. Recognizing the rapid transformation of Box Hill, the City of Whitehorse proposed the rejuvenation of existing park spaces within the gardens – this multipurpose area designed by Aspect Studios is the first to be realized.
The project’s provision of courts for netball, basketball, tennis and volleyball, as well as spaces for activities such as tai chi, table tennis, skateboarding and handball, reflects the changing demographics of nearby residents. The free, accessible recreation spaces also function as gathering spots, and stand-in backyards for those living in apartment blocks.
