A lawn, a forest, a climbing portal, two banana-shaped earthen walls and lots of local involvement: these were the key ingredients in transforming a former industrial site into an attractive park and playground.

13:35Cycling
13:45Visit Superkilen park and Norrebro community centre
Superkilen is a half a mile long urban space wedging through one of the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighborhoods in Denmark. It has one overarching idea that it is conceived as a giant exhibition of urban best practice – a sort of collection of global found objects that come from 60 different nationalities of the people inhabiting the area surrounding it. With its added community centre, Superkilen is a perfect example of a social meeting place.
14:15Cycling

This three-metre-deep multi-pitch basin was designed with stepped sides that can host roller hockey, football and cultural events on dry days and puddle-splashing children on wet. In case of heavy rainfall, the park will gradually be flooded and once the total capacity of 22.600 m3 is reached, all entrances will be closed by the self-closing flood barriers, meaning the park will at the same time become closed to the public.
