Located in Odessa, Ukraine the Jeanne Labourbe Park is a transit space between historic residential area at the level of a plateau and Primorskaya Street lying along the foot of the hill, which is a main road of a predominantly industrial dock-side district. For decades the Park situated on a hillside remains an abandoned and unsafe place.

The main purpose of the project is to develop the recreational and entertaining role of the Park, while preserving the elements of the unique historical environment, wildlife and the landscape.

To engage the public deep into the Park we propose a set of magnets – various points of attraction for every target audience: e.g. playgrounds, sports grounds, an open-air theater, places for cultural actions, exhibitions spaces, observation decks, recreation areas as well as public amenities and lavatories.
