4.0 CONCEPT MASTERPLAN4.1 Planning principles for Enmore ParkPlanning principles provide the basis for development of masterplan designsolutions for Enmore Park. The principles provide cues to responses forrealising the identified Visions and objectives as outlined in the plan ofmanagement through the development of appropriate public domain design andmaterials strategies.The following principles have been identified for the park and are supplemented by thedetailed design principles identified in the Management Strategy Framework:1) Consolidate the function and landscape character of the 4 park quadrants:West Passive parkland with garden character extensive tree canopy and good qualitygroundcover to lowest lying area of parkNorth Retain open kickabout character and suitability for event gathering space whilstimproving grass and general landscape qualityEast Consolidate facilities to optimise relationships and to provide visual buffer /transition from pool facility to the other park areasSouth Optimise as local family use area with good relationship to adjoining areasincluding mixed character of smaller open grassed spaces with good shadecover2) Recognise the primary pedestrian access routes from Enmore Road to theeastern corners of the park3) Recognise and address existing pedestrian desire lines:- along northern and southern edges of park- from heritage bus shelter to northern pathways4) Remove visual obstructions from formal access paths (central planted features)to:- reinforce visual links and ‘sense of space’- improve securityNote: This could include reinstating a water element to the central park node.5) Upgrade park entry points to conserve heritage elements and reflect value of use6) Simplify and unify pavement and wall materials where compatible with heritageobjectives7) Review and improve quality and character of general park materials andtreatments where possible8) Rationalise furniture provision to those locations where it will be used and isintegrated with overall masterplan9) Provide for sustainable formalised event use to enhance community values andpromote interaction whilst managing impacts33 Marrickville CouncilOctober 2012
