CAN THIS PARK OR ITS POOL BE ANYTHING MORE?

Information gathered from the participants during the collective mapping of gentrification.

This park once was a communal pool.

Zvonimir Špišić Park - a green oasis as a remnant of thoughtful urban planning in the 1940s.

Question:

If this pool could be something else except an empty space, what could it be?


Answers:

It could be a stage for the first Blok party.

It would be nice if it again becomes a poll with water.

It could be a pool filled with ankle-deep water in which paper boats can be launched.

 

Question:

What would be heard or seen in this park on that day? Who would gather, and what would be changed?


Answers:

It would be a content for all ages. Karaoke, playground, exchange of clothes or things people don't need anymore, art workshops, walking tours for people who are not from Trešnjevka, concerts of neighborhood bands, skate-pool, neighborhood barbecue. 

If there was a pool, all the neighbors would gather around it during summer, instead of hiding from the sun in our houses.

 

Question:

From the location in which you are sitting, find an interesting detail that you would suggest someone else to notice. It can be visual, tactile, or auditive detail. 

 

Answers:

Notice the building on Zorkovačka Street. It is really cool.

The lamps in the park are nice. But I would paint them turquoise. 

This is the only park with two balconies. 

 

Today the pool is just an empty area. The park is still in use as a playground and as a place for relaxing.
