a bright blue sports field designed by UGO hides beneath the trees in poznan

peeking between the trees of park jordanowski in poznan is a new sports field designed by polish architecture studio, UGO. composed of one large pitch, a smaller playing court, and a central warm-up area, the project offers a place for the local community to work out and have fun.

the largest pitch is multifunctional and adapted to the needs of four different sports. the smaller pitch is intended for basketball and floorball. both are surrounded by a mesh boundary that prevents any balls from escaping the playing area and getting lost in the park. at the heart of the complex is a place to warm up before a game, stretch, take a break for a sip of water, or rest after exercising. this space acts as the heart of the structure, a part that joins the two individual pitches together.

the first stage of construction works involved covering the sports pitches with the square connecting them; the so-called heart. the whole area was lined with bright blue polyurethane pavement, giving the sports field a fresh and youthful appearance. the fields were then marked with white lines to divide the pitches, and the common space was painted with additional graphics, which encourage kids and adults alike to run to warm-up or bounce on the outdoor trampoline.
