Palpa Court
Playon Network













As part of the Playon Network project, the intervention took place in a vacant space that had originally served as the neighborhood’s soccer field. However, with the socio-urban integration process initiated in 2017 by the local government, the area was bisected by the opening of Palpa Street, creating a residual urban void. This space did not allow for new forms of appropriation and posed a security issue for the neighborhood. The proposal aimed to reclaim the site as a place for community integration through sports and play, restoring its original function.
The design introduced meaningful and shared infrastructure, fostering a renewed sense of collective belonging. The space regained its status as an asset for everyone’s use and enjoyment: a place where children can play safely, parents can look after their kids, and the community can come together to engage in sports.
In addition to the playing fields, which accommodate both volleyball and basketball, the project incorporated permeable surfaces with shrub vegetation and urban furniture to support activities. A distinctive feature of the space is a vibrant mural on the ground and walls, created by the renowned artist RON, which adds color and character to the area, transforming it into a true community gathering point.
