Case Study: Weldon Hub

Weldon Heart, despite being focused around a community building demonstrates several key park principles:

1. Community at the Centre

The public realm that surrounds the hub provides a focal point where residents can meet, develop friendships and build social networks. The tiered, informal seating provides a natural spill out zone to the community building, set around a formal plaza area, perfect for hosting community and social events.
