Blesbok Park - Community Park with Constructed Wetland - Ekurhuleni
\n<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Design - 2019\/20
\nConstruction - 2020\/21<\/p>\n

The Blesbok Park within the Tembisa neighbourhood has been developed within a large open space that encompasses a heavily polluted stormwater channel located between three low-income communities.<\/p>\n

The two main objectives to the design were:
\n\u2022 to address the stormwater pollution of Blesbok<\/em> stream that is flowing into the Jukskei<\/em> river
\n\u2022 to provide a recreational facility for the neighbouring three communities.<\/p>\n

The masterplan for the project developed by Pawel Gradowski working in tandem with Silverhorns Consulting, resolved these issues by providing landscape design that incorporated:
\n\u2022 trash catchment structures that capture debris flowing in to the stream from the adjacent streets
\n\u2022 an extensive bio-filtration system of plants along the reshaped stream banks that will reduce its flow rate and absorb several pollutants dissolved in the water
\n\u2022 playgrounds and various recreation amenities
\n\u2022 a network of trails and several pedestrian bridges linked the three\u00a0 communities by providing easy access to all shared amenities and inviting visitors to engage in active recreation.<\/p>\n
