Fleming Park | fjcstudio
The principles of equity of access, welcoming, sustainability and respect for place were key to the Fleming Park project with the desire to create a place to be enjoyed by the broader Brunswick Community. Utilising a combination of existing and new buildings surrounded by mature trees creates a place of community ownership.
fjcstudios approach was to revitalise the entire Fleming Park Precinct which was tired and underutilised. A series of modest interventions such as the replacement of all noncompliant paths, new fencing, solar lighting and playground sculptures to separate from bike paths were undertaken. This was then complemented by two new buildings, a community sporting building and the restoration of an old derelict grandstand. In addition, a car park was converted into a basketball halfcourt and a rebound tennis wall with the remaining spaces into a series of Bio Swales and native garden play areas.
