The design approach of the Central Park of the Municipality of
Serres used linear axis that aimed to integrate both functions
(cafeteria, playground) with the green spaces.
The central idea for the composition of the park space was the
organization of activities as a 'mosaic'. Park sections were
proposed either exclusively for vegetation, or with human
activities in a way that both relate in a compatible manner. Each
individual space is associated with the adjacent, allowing an
‘easy flow’ by users.
Dominant elements of the composition are the main square and
the main elliptical path that runs throughout the park. The
landscape design of the open space includes squares, access
paths and sub-spaces, elements with geometric forms that
define the planted areas. The design of the green areas
followed the size of the open spaces, the proposed uses, the
internal road network and finally the surrounding areas and
vistas of the area.
