Located in the coastal city of Slovenia, Koper Central Park sits next to the city market, connecting the old and new areas of the neighborhood.

The central park features the azure coastline of the Adriatic Sea.
Originally a coastal salt pan, the area underwent decades of urban development. The former salt fields were gradually excavated and filled in, and after being reclaimed as land, the vast space was developed into a city park.

The park has few physical facilities and is primarily defined by its flowing outdoor landscape.
The most significant role of the central park is to connect the old town, the suburbs, and the city canal. Its strategic seaside location allows the architects to use an open landscape park to link two previously separate urban areas.

The expansive central park uses distinctive landscaping and large expanses of lawn to connect with neighboring areas.
As the coastal environment improves with better conservation, the beach has become an important space for leisure and socializing. Therefore, the large park area incorporates flowing landscapes to create a certain distinction between the park and residential zones.

Clever design details can be found in every corner of the park.
