Concept plan for a multigenerational neighbourhood park, in two scenarios: organic layout or linear layout.
The context
In Plessisville, Parc Bourassa is being redesigned as part of the municipal parks and green spaces master plan 2026-2036. It is a multigenerational neighbourhood park, bordered by homes and a mature woodland.
The challenges
- Managing rainwater without sending it to the neighbours and without over-paving
- Creating paths accessible to everyone despite the slopes
- Protecting mature trees and their roots
- Replacing outdated play equipment
Our work
With its partners, Scaliance Studio developed two concepts for the park: an organic layout, with winding paths that follow the woodland, and a linear layout, simpler and more economical in paved surfaces. Both scenarios offer age-specific play areas, a multi-sport slab that becomes a skating rink in winter, planted swales and bioretention basins, and furniture and lighting that respect the night sky and neighbouring residents.
The visuals
The images show an aerial view, a plan seen from above, then the play areas and the multi-sport court at eye level.
Next steps
Once the concept is approved, plans and specifications will be prepared, and the work will be carried out in phases according to budgets.
