Site

The Bayly Park site is a former landfill adjacent to the Olympic Village currently under construction almost 8 kilometres west of Whistler Village.This landfill has been capped and the space will be used for overflow parking and other services during the Olympics before it is transformed into a recreational park for future residents of the Village. 

Problem Statement

To create a public space that has a strong community identity that welcomes first-time visitors and is relevant to every-day residents, while providing diverse recreational opportunities for the community.

Design Solution

space2place undertook an extensive analysis to identify the opportunities and constraints of the site and the recreational needs of the Whistler community.To help the client and the community decide what elements eventually need to be included in Bayly Park, we then developed two conceptual options with varying recreational opportunities. These concept options were broken down into phases to ensure that the park built after the Olympics meets the immediate needs of the community while the spaces within the park are flexible to accommodate future recreational elements.
