Overall vision for the proposed park is introducing an innovative and unique urban park in Kirkegata 10. The park will set Lillestrøm map and generate affiliation, activity, prosperity, attraction, and not least, strengthen and revitalize an already existing arts and cultural programs in Kirkegata.
The city park will through form and materials reflect the city's identity and forward thinking, and are one of downtown's new attractions. The city park will emerge as new and different urban spaces in Lillestrøm, while it should be safe and inclusive.
Lillestrøm is in the middle of an important urban development process. There are strategically efforts done to provide the inhabitants of the region exciting and innovative workplaces with a qualitative, generous and tolerant city environment for young and old. The city is a hub for regional trains, airport train and bus and great recreational areas.
Something for everyone
The people is attraction number one.

The city park is made up of geometric shapes inspired by the footprint of the new art centre. These geometric shapes have become a tool for structuring various activities and materials in the park. The structure generates a tissue, a comprehensive quilt where each of the fields is programmed. The structure walkways create safe flow between Kirkegata and Jonas Lies gate, as well as secondary paths through the site.
