Paradise is a north eastern suburb of Adelaide, South Australia. It is nearby the Torrens River and popular walking and bicycle commuting paths to the CBD.
Paradise Recreation Plaza is a renewal of an existing space to improve flow, connectivity and activation. TTC were engaged by Campbelltown City Council for the specialist bike park component alongside skate park consultants and landscape architects to design a masterplan valued at approximately $3.9 million dollars.
We were engaged as part of a project team in a masterplan arrangement to conduct community consultation, design and planning services. Community feedback desired the design to include interesting dirt jump sections, return line and an asphalt pump track. Community feedback showed 90% were in favour of what we designed.
The design caters mostly for beginner and intermediate users with skill development lines throughout the space for increased enjoyment. The design intent was to have seamless integration to and from the pump track to the skate park. Something truly unique for the area.
