花桥青年城市公园，江苏苏州 / SoBA

花桥青年城市公园位于苏州昆山花桥地区，于2024年3月建成开放，建设面积约5580平方米，沿绿地大道南侧呈带状展开。项目以昆曲中的水袖意象为灵感，将中国传统文化与现代滑板运动相结合，构建了一处独具特色的体育公园。公园的更新进一步提升了场地的空间品质与使用体验，使其成为周边社区的重要文化与体育活动中心。

 

Huachiao Vibrant Sports Park, located in Kunshan, Suzhou, opened in March 2024. Spanning 6,000 square meters along Greenbelt Avenue, its design draws inspiration from the flowing water sleeves of Kunqu opera, blending traditional Chinese culture with modern skateboarding. The park enhances both space and experience, making it a key cultural and sports hub for the community.

设计概念与文化叙事 Design Concept and Cultural Narrative

 

项目的核心设计理念源自昆曲水袖的灵动飘逸，通过空间塑造与材质运用，将这一富有东方韵律的意象转译为现代都市语境下的景观体验。水袖的抽象形态被巧妙地融入公园地形，形成连续流畅的运动空间，并在不同功能区域之间建立有机联系。这一设计策略不仅赋予场地独特的文化意象，同时增强了空间的可读性与互动性。

The design draws inspiration from the flowing elegance of Kunqu water sleeves, transforming this poetic imagery into a contemporary urban landscape through spatial form and materiality. Abstracted flowing sleeve shapes blend seamlessly into the park’s terrain, creating fluid movement spaces and organically connecting different functional zones. This approach not only infuses the site with a distinct cultural identity but also enhances spatial legibility and interaction.

材料运用与空间塑造 Materiality and Spatial Formulation

 

为凸显水袖的轻盈特质，同时满足滑板运动对表面连续性的严苛要求，公园采用超高性能混凝土（UHPC）打造了一条具有雕塑感的“白色缎带”滑板区。这一创新性的材料选择不仅提供了卓越的结构性能与耐久性，也在视觉上强化了流动感，使运动体验与场地意象相互呼应。

 

To highlight the lightness of flowing sleeves while meeting the stringent continuity requirements of skateboarding surfaces, the park features a sculptural “white ribbon” skate zone made of ultra-high-performance concrete (UHPC). This innovative material choice not only ensures exceptional structural performance and durability but also enhances the visual fluidity, creating a seamless dialogue between movement and spatial identity.

此外，项目充分考虑了运动场地的功能性与适应性。篮球场、滑板场地、乒乓球场、特色景观亭、儿童游玩器械等运动休闲设施经过精心布置，以满足不同年龄段居民的运动需求，并通过合理的流线组织优化了场地使用效率。

Additionally, the project carefully balances functionality and adaptability in the sports areas. Facilities such as the basketball court, skate park, ping pong tables, signature pavilion, and children’s play equipment are thoughtfully arranged to cater to residents of all ages. Efficient circulation planning further optimizes space utilization, enhancing both accessibility and user experience.

社区互动与全龄友好性 Community Engagement and All-Age Inclusivity

 

作为社区的公共活动核心，青年城市公园注重全龄友好性与社交属性。除了专业的运动场地，公园还增设了多样化的休憩设施，包括不同尺度的座椅、遮荫空间及开放式活动区域，以鼓励居民之间的交流互动。同时，空间设计强调可达性与包容性，使不同体能水平的使用者都能在此找到适宜的活动方式。

 

As a community hub for public activities, the Vibrant Sports Park emphasizes inclusivity and social engagement. Beyond professional sports facilities, it features a variety of seating options, shaded areas, and open activity spaces to encourage interaction among residents. The design prioritizes accessibility and adaptability, ensuring that users of all physical abilities can find suitable ways to engage with the space.

生态策略与可持续性 Ecological Strategies and Sustainability

 

项目在关注运动功能的同时，亦致力于构建生态友好的城市公共空间。通过优化植被配置，公园在有限的用地内最大化绿化覆盖率，以改善空气质量、调节微气候，并增强场地的生态适应性。植物选择上，设计团队结合本地气候及土壤条件，采用多样化的本土树种和灌木，以提升生物多样性，同时降低维护成本。

 

While focusing on sports functionality, the project is also committed to creating an eco-friendly urban public space. By optimizing plant configurations, the park maximizes greenery coverage within the limited site area, improving air quality, regulating the microclimate, and enhancing the site’s ecological adaptability. We selected a diverse range of native trees and shrubs based on local climate and soil conditions, promoting biodiversity while reducing maintenance costs.

青年城市公园不仅是一个融合传统文化与现代运动的景观项目，更是面向未来的社区公共空间实践。其创新性的空间组织方式、先进的材料运用及对生态可持续性的关注，使其成为当代城市更新背景下的一次创新尝试，探索了体育设施、文化叙事与生态策略之间的多维度整合。

 

The Vibrant Sports Park is not only a landscape project that integrates traditional culture with modern sports but also a future-oriented practice in community public space. Its innovative spatial organization, advanced material use, and focus on ecological sustainability make it an innovative attempt within the context of contemporary urban renewal, exploring the multidimensional integration of sports facilities, cultural narratives, and ecological strategies.
