A part of Genk neighbourhood “Schansbroek” has a multifunctional but old and hidden recreative zone and in need of big ecohydrologic measures.

The Flemish government, the participatory department together with the environmental department of the city of Genk invited all the neighbours and users of the park to co-create the new park.

It was the explicit choice to develop a very interactive co-creative process with very little givens or limitations in designing the park.

3 days of workshops with experts, users and neighbours took place.

The result is a shared concept of the new parkzone that soon will be carried out.
