Agrokomplex is one of the largest and most significant exhibition complexes in Slovakia and its importance is proven by almost 50 years of exhibition activities. The exhibiton area is an important part of the urban structure of Nitra city, despite the fact that a large part of the complex is unused.This article deals with the issue of the exhibiton area of Agrokomplex and focuses on re-designing it into a more accessible space with a higher recreational value. Many of the premises of the exhibiton complex have a great potential which has not been fully discovered yet. Unfortunately these areas are affected by strong privatization and the negative impact of local policies. One of the specific areas of the exhibition complex is in the immediate vicinity of the Chrenová urban district, which has a significant proportion of urban green spaces, but lacks park areas. Based on these facts, we created a proposal of landscape-architectural design and scenarios, one of which presents the design of a small park mainly for the communities of Chrenová urban district, but also for the all inhabitants or tourists. Presented design can make the exhibition area more accessible, functional and community oriented by maximizing the recreational potencial and enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
