Forest park infrastructure for the residents of Klaipėda
Five new trails are designed to expose the beauty of varying nature of Smiltynė by putting the existing infrastructure in use. The intention is to benefit from strategic positioning and minimal intervention to primarily create an environment for physical, spiritual and psychological development.
Each trail has several target points that invite visitors to walk the trail and reach them to discover different site specific atribute each time: multifaceted forest, beach, ship’s cemetry, pier and other.
In addition, it was suggested to redesign Smiltynė street and the old Smiltynė ferry area. The idea is to create human friendly design and prioritize pedestrians by limiting traffic, widening sidewalks and greening the space.
