L’AFICIÓ DEL VALENCIA BASKET PARK
STRATEGY
20,000 square meters of park, recreational areas, and sports courts.
The Parc de l’Afició of Valencia Basket emerges as a new civic heart for the city—an everyday urban space designed to be lived and enjoyed. Conceived as a natural extension of Roig Arena and the Quatre Carreres neighborhood, the park integrates seamlessly into residents’ daily routines and enhances the broader urban experience surrounding both the sports venue and the Roig Arena elevated parking facility.
SOLUTION
A GREEN LUNG FOR THE ROIG ARENA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS
This public garden functions as a social magnet for families, offering play areas ideally suited for children. It also features outdoor basketball courts, making them a true gathering point for younger visitors. People can move freely through the open spaces that connect the park with the arena’s exterior terraces, where they can enjoy the venue’s gastronomic offerings. Complementing this major green space, an additional 21,000 square meters of reurbanization are dedicated to maximizing pedestrian mobility and strengthening the quality of the public realm. The design introduces walkable routes, inviting plazas, and an urban landscape that prioritizes people, fostering a closer and more natural relationship with the surroundings. Accessibility plays an essential role in defining the identity of the Parc de l’Afició. Pedestrian-first circulation ensures safe and comfortable routes, while the connection to public transport makes it easy for both residents and visitors to reach the park.
