Parco della Repubblica Sirolo | ecoLogicStudio

Nestled in the enchanting coastal town of Sirolo, within the National Mount Conero protected area, ecoLogicStudio will renovate the Parco della Repubblica, an existing public park on the North side of the historical city centre. The new project is driven by the ambition of developing a symbiotic park for humans and wildlife. It will serve as a gateway to the Conero natural reserve and inspire a deeper connection between urban and natural environments.

The project covering an area of approximately 2Ha, will encompass six key layers, also called “dimensions”: Urban, Social and Collective, Playful and Wellbeing, Cultural and Educational, Ecological, and Territorial and Eco-touristic.

The park will propose the pedestrianization of the access road completing a pedestrian loop linking it to the historical city center. A reconfigurable area will host a plethora of socio-cultural activities within the park and a circuit for active walking, jogging, and children’s cycling will wrap a central area of the park dedicated to biodiversity. This is dotted with a network of new outdoor furniture with integrated wildflower gardens to promote a direct connection between local citizens and eco-tourists with the renewed ecological dimension of the site.

The renovation project by ecoLogicStudio emerges as a beacon of design innovation, fostering a harmonious coexistence between urban life and the natural world.
