Fish Park, Modi’in

The ‘Fish’ park is one of the central open spaces in the new town of Modiin, connecting two linear parks on its edges. Central to the design were the preservation of the long views across its long axis while providing a maximum of play structures and facilities for this new and young community. The collaboration with the Israeli artist Aaron Ben-Arieh produced a series of play “stations” under the overall motive of “Fishes and Sealife”. A large pergola provides much needed shade, overlooking grass terraces for informal ball games.
