1895 War Memorial Park: Filling neglected plot with life

A 315,000m2 park on the site of a former cemetery, previously a no-go area, hemmed in by a road and concrete perimeter of a canal. The transformation has created a sense of community cohesion by focusing on the memorialization of a historic local battle, while providing access to green space and amenities for citizen. Here too, water from the existing canal is channeled into the park, creating an ecological diversion that engages citizens with nature.
