Xinyang Park (Shanghai) (2026)

Micro-topography grading and the reservation of lightpenetrating canopy gaps, combined with permeable paving and gentleslope drainage design, resolve issues of slipperiness and waterlogging. Within the limited space, a modular, growable natural play system is introduced to achieve an organic symbiosis between children’s activities and the forest fabric. Elevated boardwalks link forest platforms and incorporate eight types of lowintervention installations – including treehouse observation pods, vine climbing nets, and moss sensory trails – without removing a single mature tree, enabling safe, all-age play under 78% high canopy cover.

Taking the "Seed Research Lab" as the thematic concept, the design features eight types of immersive interactive installations – including the Seed Decoding Lab, Sprout Workshop, Root Exploration Tunnel, Tree-Ring Observation Deck, Fruit Collection Station, Light and Shadow Seed Wall, and Spore Observation Window – allowing children to perceive the vital rhythm of seeds through touching, smelling, listening, and observing. In this way, they complete an enlightening education about growth, cycles, and symbiosis within the real natural world.
