A. Jedlik Park is located on the south-western edge of Nové Zámky, within a residential area predominantly comprising single-family houses. The park is linked to a large linear green space that runs alongside the River Nitra, approximately 500 metres away. Its primary users are the residents of the surrounding homes. Spanning nearly 2 hectares, the park hosts 150 trees, with a relatively diverse species composition, including 26 different species. However, the green space is fragmented due to a poorly organised and incoherent path system. To address this, master’s students in landscape architecture developed four design scenarios within the Public Green Space Design Studio, aiming to revitalise the park by incorporating contemporary principles of landscape architecture and public open space design. Each design reconfigures the existing path network into a more continuous and logical circulation system. Additionally, the students proposed introducing new elements and site furniture to enhance the quality of the open space and improve the well-being of local residents. The design scenarios were presented to local government representatives, municipal employees, and nearby residents.
