ENMORE PARK – PLAN OF MANAGEMENT7.6 Landscape and visual characterOverall the park is mixed in character having evolved with a fundamentally Victorianstructure that has been subject to several major interventions and interpretations oflandscape theme.Open grassed areaThe park presents a Victorian park character to Enmore Road and the lower lyingwestern quadrant of the park, where a higher quality of grass cover and extensiveplantings promote a civic landscaped feel. The boundaries to Llewellyn Street andVictoria Road are also well treed and provide an attractive outlook for residents. TheBlack Street frontage is closed of for 50% of its length by the pool complex althoughbuffered by a strongly native tree canopy.Internally park character is somewhat un-cohesive with two identifiable zones to theeastern and western sides of the park.The main element of the more elevated eastern side is the pool complex. The pastbuilding had minimal functional or visual interface with the park, with harsh brickfacades, service areas, and visually obtrusive chain wire fencing presenting to the park.The new structure under construction in 2010 aims to significantly improve the visualand functional relationship with the park.Garden bed and mulched zoneA barbeque / picnic area is located opposite the pool entry, although there appears inthe past to be minimal usage relationships between the two. The eastern zone istypified by fewer tree plantings and generally has a barren visual character with much ofthe open grassed area worn and compacted.In contrast, the western zone of the park provides a more civic park character with morefrequent tree planting and a ‘greener’ visual feel in part due to the better condition of thegrass to this zone. There are also a greater number of garden beds, although thesecan create visual barriers, preventing clear views along pathways to destination pointsand overly fragmented grassed areas.Black StreetThere is a sense across the park of a somewhat cluttered appearance. This ispropagated by a number of factors of which extensive intervention of paths and gardenbeds to grassed spaces, the varied path materials, varied park furniture and varied treeplanting species are major contributors.Pathways include asphalt pavements with low concrete kerbs or brick pavement withlow brick kerbs. The use of the different materials may be aimed at delineating a variedhierarchy to the pathways, however the overall visual impact is uncohesive and doesnot reflect the intensity of use each path receives. In particular the central path doesnot function as the main pathway east of the central feature, with users generallyveering off the northeast or southeast corners once they reach the centre of the park.Victoria Road vehicular accessThe extensive variety of tree species also contributes to a lack of an overall parkcharacter, with trees of varying height, form, age and visual effect. Resolving the rightbalance of planting to retain a park character whilst promoting a tone and identity will bean important step.The sheer number of park furniture elements including seats, garbage bins and lightscontributes to the cluttered park landscape. This is further compounded by the oftenpoor siting of these elements, which often does not relate to park use or function in ameaningful way. The character of the furniture elements is heritage in style, which maynot be the most effective means of recognising and celebrating the heritage character ofthe site.Environmental Partnership 70October 2012
