Detroit Zigzag Park follows specific geometry of spatial layouts in order to create diverse routes and spaces that extend the visiting experience for pedestrians. Detroit Zigzag Park built a new relationship between urban context and park landscape. The gaps and edges created by “zigzag” could be perfect locations for infrastructures such as fountain, observatory, bikeway, super market, retail, pharmacy, and restaurant. Meanwhile, inner plaza is used for temporary events or festivals. The feature of multiple functions earns the opportunity for public to work here, play here, communicate here, and rest here. It redefines a new generation city park that plays a more important role to energize urban environment.
