Integration into the Nantaihu Wetland Olympic Park Concept
The educational wetland park is part of the ‘Olympic Sports Park’, including a Stadium and a Swim Hall. It is the link between the highly frequented Sports Park in the South and the NanTaiHu landscape in the North.
Besides this and besides of the buffer function between nature and city, the educational wetland park is also a link between the necessities of the citizens and the demands of the nature and a link between wetland and habitat conservation.
Furthermore it gives additional functions to the whole sport area and the nearby residential areas and attracts people to come to the park during the whole year, even without sports competitions.
South of the wetland park the Olympic Park with its stadium, hotel, commercial buildings and the swimming hall focuses more on city activities like gathering, sport, consumption and family offers. To avoid conflicts (too many people, pollution, noise, activities which are not appropriate in a wetland park) a regulatory is needed and being controlled by park police or park guard. Additionally the dos and don't s will be displayed at each entrance of the park to emphasis the special character of the educational wetland park.
GET Design Ecological Standards: Clean water standards means that natural drainage systems and natural water systems become more important and wetlands are protected. This principle will be applied in the Huzhou Nantai Lake Olympic Wetland Park.
